1600. Power struggle here, at least since this morning. Mark,
Katy, and I put up a mist net, catching 2 ub 1st yr ♀♀ and
♀1119 from CV2. Things are relatively slow right now.
Note that much of the granary has fallen here within the
last month, but there's still a fair amount left.
There are only ~10 birds here now, inc. 5 in the granary
and several more up in the little open area where they've
nested in the past.

but was gone by the 22nd. With 2 new ♀♀ now
here, we give her DA. 22 March.
