No sign of Wicker life. But it's sort of a cool, windy day, so maybe someone's hiding. My guess is There's woone here permanently yet. 10 September 910. Well, that wasn't hard. There is a nest here with very young babies up in the large Blue Oak above the enclosure! 104S. 3 babies, not so small... 1985 19 January 1210. Counted stores: Main tree: 990 2nd tree 60 There's no telling when this happened, but it appears that most or all of the storage limbs at "School Hill B" have fallen. The tree is still there, but there no longer seems to be places to put acorns. 10 April #976 seen at CV# (Power Struggle today. See CV notes. 26 April 1700. 8 (and 6 eggs!) in my favorite old hole here, which is currently in fine shape. 19 May Two babies and 4(!) unhatched eggs here! 31 May Banded the babies as #1082-1085. #1087 - 1088. 3 June Philip ambushed up here and caught a helper, #976. we put a transmitter on her.
