20 September
1445. No sign of life at Blomtwo.
1500. Not much sign of activity at Blomthree either, but
hearing noises over by one of the vernal pools across the
road path I walked over and flushed 4 birds and found
a 4th (a 8") trenchantly sitting in a hole looking out.
It's probably a nest, but will be hard to get to. In any
case, I'm unsure of what group it belongs to; it
could be Blomthrees, CV Grande, or conceivably even
Gazebo's. The flushed birds tended to fly off toward
CV Grande, however, so as a first guess I choose
them.
1615. None in the hole this time; also no sounds coming
from the hole.

26 February
1830. Came to Blomtwo at dusk; saw no sign of any
birds in or out of holes. I also could see no stored
acorns, despite Philip having claimed to have
seen some here. In short, I don't think there's
a group here, at least now, even if there was
one earlier in the winter.
30 March
At dusk tonight I flushed several (3-4?) birds
from holes in the roost/granary tree, so there
presumably is a group here.
