2 February
1550. Counted stores: 192. Something, at least, but I still
have no lead on any major storage area here.
1994
20 January
1540. Counted stores: 92. Really, there's got to be
something more here, but where?
14 April
1100. There are still a few acorns in the granary. Plus, a
bird flushed when I came by. There certainly is a group
here.
19 April
1545. 2 birds in hole at Pipeline/Wolfpack. Mark checked:
6 eggs! Measured them: ①25.5×19.6 ②26.0×20.1
Translucent Translucent
③25.6×19.4 ④24.7×18.5 ⑤24.9×18.0 ⑥18.4×14.7
Translucent Opaque Opaque A mint!
Time to find out who's here! ?
Eggs incubated. Apparently 2 ♀♀ here.

16 May
1630. Came by here and saw ~2 stored acorns and no birds. Is
there even still a group here? No sign of a nest as yet.
12 June
1600. Watched for an hour here and saw very little.
On 2 occasions, a bird flew by, one stopping to
flycatch for a few minutes. So there may be birds
here. But I sure saw no sign of a nest or really
any sure sign that a group is living here.
20 June
Ambushed the hole in the Sycamorn over toward
Pipeline, nabbing 82408.
