1240. Counted stores: LFT: 809
Nest tree: 752
HFT: 1714
H.V.O 881
3456.
The only area not very full is the lambert fallen tree, which
could probably hold another 1550 acorns, so I'd guess their
capacity to be up around 5000. (Note that they are storing
a lot in the Hastings Valley Oak, esp. in the bark.)
No birds seen up here.
