Bianca
3 Dec 1500, Bless my bones, Bianca is occupied! Maybe 100 or so acorns stored in the "halfway fallen" limb on the knoll. 1530, on the Divide between Black Oak and Bianca, I find at least 3 unbanded birds, perhaps a 4th bird as well. At least 1, probably 2 (or even 3) of the birds are ♂ NB. I think a ♀ NB is around, too. Confused near the end, as a couple of Black Oak birds (♂321, ♀689) around, and chasing, etc.
1600 4 friendly looking birds together on the open-top Valley Oak on Bianca ♂. Could it be 4 immigrants for sure? Wouldn't think this territory could hold 4 birds. But anyway, 2♂♂, 2♀♀, all unbanded!
11 Dec Counted stores 1630: About 250 Total, scattered about. Lots of empties. These guys will have to do better than that.
