22 February 1400. Counted stores: 994. All in the "new" granary. They aren't even bothering to store elsewhere anymore. I'd put capacity at 1300.
11 April 1005. None in any known holes here.
22 April 1300. Found the nest - a new hole. Probably have eggs. (Maybe babies?)
23 April Mark climbed the hole.
9 May 600. Banded the 4 babies here.
21 May 1100. Acorns are remaining in the granary here.
28 May 1100. jda/LP #123c seen on the knoll toward WA2 (this is an LA2 baby)
16 June 1630. Bird in nest hole, but it's empty. Nobody in any other holes either.
16 November 1130. Watching (at the granary.) Doing alright with acorns here.
1140. ① ♂DB-Red/Red #1232. ② ♀ Y&B/LB-Y&L #993.
$1175 from Wolfpack!
1215. ♀ Or / Wh #1175 chased off by ♂993. Who this?
1221. ♂DB/Red #1180.
1240. ♂DB/Wh #1230 (?) Huh? No - but it's a ♀. ♀ Or / Wh #1230.
1250. Leaving. Birds are less than forthright here, but I probably got them all.
