Not bad, but neither area is close to being full. Capacity
is surely in the 3000+ range.
25 March Watched roosting here tonight with Roger. One bird
was in the high Sycamore hole early as usual. Two
others came by and roosted in entirely different places.
Hence, there would definitely appear to be 3 birds here,
not the 2 on the field list. Too bad they're all roosting
independently!
19 April 1715. Checked the hole from last year, which Mark saw a bird
in this morning - empty.
28 April 1330. Mark checked the hole: 4 eggs!
28 May 1800. Banded and bled the 4 babies here and added 2
transplanted Lewis' babies to boot for a final "brood" of 6.
15 July 1620. Out of stores here.

Not very much for these guys.
4 April 1315. Perhaps there are a few lurking here, but for all practical
purposes these guys are out of stores here.
