29 May 160D. Lots of stored acorns here, but still no sign of a renest
anywhere that I know of to look.
22 June Damn. Stanback, belatedly looking up here, reports fledglings.
Must have "renested immediately upon the "failure" of the 1
egg in the main granary; I wonder where? Damn damn darn.
2 July 1930. Back after the AOLs, we're putting our big guns up here
trying to find roost holes. So far we have one new one, plus
I've found about 4 (plus the whole group, apparently) over
at Woolfenden (holes are in the styrofoam), where I'm going
to watch for roosting.
4 July 407. Found (the) hole [illegible] 2 nights ago; MTS set ambush last
night and here we are. Unfortunately, it appeared as though
only 3 birds went in last night..
500. Got 3 babies! Now #1896-1898. With luck, this is The lot!
17 September 1615. Lots of stored acorns, both old and new, here.
