Not especially full, but the trees are fairly well loaded.

upper exclosure tree.

there are 4 babies: White 52.0 24
LPink 52.0 23
Orange 55.7 25

~13
They're ~13 do, (??) which makes the ELED ~ 29 March.
4 May
1330. Banded & bled the 4 babies here (now ~ day 26).

21 January
1145. Counted stores: Main tree: 2250? 2380.

Doing quite well. Room for a tad more still (in the bark),
but otherwise quite replete.
13 April
1545. 5 4-5-day-old babies in the Sch. Hill "C" hole!
One smaller than the others, but all may make it.

3 May
1230. Banded the 4 babies. Acorns still remaining.
