745. Set up to catch the NOBA 8.
1500. Trying again.
1600. Finally got him. Now the only question
is: is he the only one?
25 May Turns out there were 2 NOBA 8's here.
The 1st I caught feeding a couple of days
ago. The 2nd we had a hour or time with,
so I had Eric ambush the nest this
morning and bingo - we got him roosting
in the nest; 84352. We then went ahead
and banded the kids (4 of them).

8 May 1115. Checked nest: 5 kids, 2-3 do, + 2 unhatched
eggs: ① 23.7 x 18.5 (not developed) and
② 24.3 x 19.2 (developed but did not hatch).
Band - 26 May.
26 May 1030. Banded the 5 kids. Stores: you betcha,
Though not as many as one might think.
29 June 1430. One of the babies (#4574) got his
leg caught in the cut and died. Blimmer.
I took him down and checked the hole - none
inside at least.
