rest (banded #3911). Should all be banded
wow! Nest hole tagged #5816.

know. Need to look around for a granary here.
Joey found some - down next to The old nest
tree, and They do have some stores left!

Not only is there a granary here (just up
toward HNHR from their original nest tree)
but it has stores in it!

Stores here aplenty. None in any holes.

I'm not sure about a nest. But a starling
way in their old (2003) nest hole this evening.
26 May
1700. Watched up here a 6.7. Saw 2 birds (♂, ♀, both
banded) but no obvious nest. Could be here,
though. There are certainly stores.

A NOBA ♂ (injw?) in the granary, which has
a few old and a few new, green acorns
stored in it.
