Birds doing pretty well acorn wise. Also, At least 4 UB birds were hanging out around the old Vo graveyard down the road toward CV#1. Probably were CV#1 birds, but it will be worth keeping an eye on. No stored acorns there yet, 1 Dec Counted stores, 1300: Total 1220 10 Dec: Watched here 1030-1200, and did all right. Q571 LBlue/Blt/LBlue and Q653 corn-wht/Lbm all seen.
