3 April No stores or sign of birds here.
29 April 1110. A pair of birds checking this place out. Both were banded.

1 February 900. Granany has acorns! Is at least 50% full, and I flushed a bird upon arrival. There is a group here.
12 April 910. Stores remaining here. None in any holes, though.
19 April 1130. None in holes. Even checked the new hole, but no nothing in it. (It's in good, but not perfect shape, with some junk in the bottom.)
21 April 1430. Zilch.
18 May 1630. None in any holes. Also, no stores remaining! This group has been supplemented with dog food, but I think this is one of the groups where crows have probably been eating almost all of it.
30 May 1700. Watched the Starling nest here for about an hour, but saw no sign of woodpeckers. Is the group even still here? There's not much indication that they are...
I take it back - 2-3 birds just greeted each other over toward the pond. They're probably here after all.
1745. One of the birds looks like he just flew over (toward?) (to?) Blomore. They may not belong here after all, Notelling, since with no stores one wouldn't necessarily expect them to hang out in the granany that much.
