27 January *Group Update*
81394. Returned! First seen 2 Nov '90, last time not here
on 18 Oct. '90 → Returned ~25 Oct ± 1 wk.
4 March In the meantime, it would finally seem appropriate to knock
off 8886, 91160, and 81391, all of whom were last seen
on 21 Feb 1990. Very possibly 8886 wasn't even around for
the breeding season, but this is up in the air (they were
already missing a breeding ♀). I'll more or less arbitrarily
have them all disappearing on 31 March 1990.
31 May. 1420. Group appears to be out of acorns. None in any holes.
None even seen, in fact:
4 June 1015. Flushed a bird from here. Watching for a spell.
1100. Not much going on. Certainly nothing dramatic or
dubious.
