7 July
1630. Banded the 2 kids here (hole #100;
usual tree). Plenty of stores across the
way.

17 April
1230, Checked The Nest: 1 hatching + 2 eggs.
Still hatching.
19 April
1815. All 3 kids hatched & looking good.
Band 8 May.
17 May
1445. Returned the kid I brought to show
at The flower show. One other kid was
looking out when I came and flew out.
He did fine, best I could tell. Fledging
has begun!
3 June
1500. Checked hole #681 in tree H1651
(old hole): 2 eggs, fresh, along with a
bird (!) who I left in there. I did mark
the eggs, however.
9 June
1045. Eggs gone! Instead, there was a bunch
of lichen and an adult Peromyscus, who
I threw out.
I don't think I caused them to abandon,
not even having taken the bird out of The
hole (she flew out on his/her own). But-
it's possible, I guess.
18 June
1300. 3 eggs, fairly fresh, now in hole #100
(tree H1651-higher hole). EHD ~27 June.
25 June
2000 B orn #4194 roosted in the nest tonight
