4 January
150. Checked stores here: 88, all in the VO by the river.
Given that R1 was <200, this isn't really bad at all - at
least there are birds here!
23 May
1945. No sign of anything here this evening.
18 June
1400. The Valley Oak next to the creek that more or
less passed as the granary for these guys has fallen!
This is the tree used as a 2° nest by R1 back in
1981, I believe (but never actually as a nest tree by
Wolfpack). Anyway, it's history; the leaves are
still pretty fresh so it's within the last couple days.
Perhaps this will be the end of this group at last?
