530. Ambushed at the old hole in the granary (Where there
are still plenty of stores) and got 2 birds - 82173 + 92091.
Many saw kids here, but no luck catching them yet.
At least 2 NOBA juvs here,
12 October
600. Ambushed this morning at the one nice hole in the
granary: Jennifer thought she saw 5 birds go in; we got
3, but 2 were the NOBA juvs! Also got 82174. Hope
we can finally piece together what happened here.
The juvs were just beginning to molt - so they did
probably fledge late this year (i.e., summer).

19 May
1200. Came over to Buckeye Annex after Pete saw a bird
here, but nothing. Plenty of stores at Buckeye, however

3 January
1230. Definitely life here: granary is about ½-¾ full.
Hardly indicative of a good year, but certainly not
terrible.
11 April
1615. Bird in hole! No baby noises, though. Group here seems
to have lost a big chunk of their granary (~400-500 holes),
but still has acorns remaining.
1620. None over at Buckeye annex.
12 April
1245. Opened the hole after dragging The ladder up: zilch, but
looks in reasonable shape.
21 April
None in any holes here.
12 June
None in any holes, but there are still stores here
(This is a supplemented group).
