25 May
Joey got up here once a couple weeks ago but
basically we've had to ignore these guys because
the road still hasn't been cleared. However, I made
it up here this afternoon and, like our prior checks,
saw nothing. I even peeped the 2 holes, but no
sign of a nest, impending or otherwise, in either.
Also, no stores remaining here, by the way. Of
course we can't really be sure there's even a group
here at the moment...
1996
10 June
1515. Haven't seen boo here this year until now: bird
in the upper (old) hole. However, I went up and
checked it and found it empty (but in good shape,
anyway).
27 September
930. Banded and bled the single fall baby here.
