This one's eyes are still dark and is certainly pretty young. 930. Raining pretty hard. leaving. 16 November 950. Watching. The birds have a lot of acorns stored. 1010.①♂ LP-/RE #1039, along with ②♀ub♂(baby). ③♂ M/DB-wh(n) #736. ? 1020.④♂ LP/M *Mauve? Yel/DB 639 Both "LP" and "Yel" bands quite faded. This bird in working stores. Who is he? (j♀ub here, too.) Bird seen well. It's 639 1030.③♀ub 1115. leaving. This seems to be it! *Group Update* 639. Still here. Actually, this bird is listed as having disappeared in 1984. So for now, I'll add a "returned" record ~16 Oct 1986. Wow. Also add 1♀ub♂ nestling from a missed nest here. Obviously we don't know how many fledged, but he appears to be the only one surviving this long.
