28 May
1845. Set up for eventual nest ambushing here. Only 1 baby
in nest!
1 June
1545 Set up and waiting
1615. Got the ♀! Now #1753.
1815. Leaving for now. No other feeders!
2 June
950. Set up again. Trying for 8624.
1030. 8624 and 91753 fed, but didn't go inside the hole. I
may have to do a night ambush for the ♂ after all.
120. Quitting. A night ambush it is.
3 June
445. No problem. Got up at 300, pulled the string about 330 or
so, got 8624, bled him and returned him to the hole by
410.

11 January
1100. No sign of any stores (or birds) here, despite some reasonable
storage limbs: 2 in the granary, The tree 1/2-way down toward
Keep Out, and one other limb up toward the stock pond. Combined, I'd
guess capacity here at on the order of 1500 acorns!
2 April
1020. No birds in evidence.
22 April
1200. Several birds in the tree here, possibly Keep Out or even
Lambert birds?
♀1753 down at LA2; see LA2 notes.
15 May
No activity here for some time.
2 June
Still no activity around here.
