19 April *jll65 (Maybe?) seen over between Blontwo and

(Change this bird to Moved 0 Feb 86 ± 3 months.)
19 May 1400. Opened a new hole that looked promising, but nothing.
It is in good shape, however.
24 May 1045. Whoopee! Bird in the 1st nesthole from 1985'. A nest!
4 fresh eggs!!
25 May 1030. Still 4 eggs. Bird incubating.
28 May 115 1530. Today's The day. Released 9812 with blue marks on
her forehead and began our watch. (After measuring
the eggs.)
30 May She did it! 9812 tossed the eggs near mid-day today. See
Katy's notes! Whoopee!
3 June 1430. Checked the hole: empty still.
4 June 1845. " " " "
5 June 1530. " " " " But! A bird in another
hole in one of the side trees: it's empty too, but could be worth
watching there.
6 June 515. Watching the side hole. None there at the moment.
615. Dulls ville. Nothing here, nor (from a distance, at any
rate) the 1st nest hole. I'm leaving. It's basically cold
and crumbly out.
