Giving up. Both finally came but wouldn't go into the empty hole. 1985 19 January 1230. I didn't do a good count, but I'd say they have 250-300 acorns stored here in the main granary. 22 April **Group Update** No changes for now, although I doubt the babies are still here. 26 April 1730. 4 eggs, incubated, in the same hole as last fall. 23 May 1630. Banded the 3 babies as #1040-1042. ~21 August Stanback reports that some acorns remain here.
