730. Ambushed here, getting 1 bird (8'2802).
Very likely the only bird here. (Put new color-
bands on him.)

1600. Bird in hole (tag 5558). Empty; bottom
has a hole in it going down to the lower hole
(Which is in good shape). I patched it as best
I could.

Saw what I'd call 1 stored acorn here.
Basically they're out.

starling babies, while #1148 (the lowest one) had
an unused grass nest in it. I cleaned them both
out.
There are birds & some stores here.
