600. With 2 NOBAs here, presumably from a late summer nest,
I ambushed at one of the opened holes and got 82151 and
a jNOBA (now 2339), who was quite scruffy on the crown

12 April

None in any holes.
17 May
500. Ambushed the old horizontal nest hole in the lower tree
and got 81954 - who we are temporarily removing - and
82341 (a helper) - who MTS will lap.

Moral - take nothing for granted the first several days.
I think this guy may have gotten stuck somehow, not
starved. But captives must be checked regularly
(he had gained weight his 1st day in captivity!)
3 June
1015. Walked through here, but didn't see anyone in any
holes. Also, they appear to be out of stores, even though
they were a supplemented group (a manoeuvre that didn't

17 June
1030. No birds in holes. Also, no stores left here. Apparently
they are not going to attempt a renest.

1830. Ambushed the down-facing nest hole tonight, nabbing
82536 - the only bird here. Ellen hadn't been able to ID
