**GROUP UPDATE**
① ♀629 disappeared 17 April 1982 ± 1 month
Last seen by Alan 6 March, Gone for sure by 28 May
② ♀702 disappeared 7 June ± 1 week
Last seen 28 May, gone missing 17 June
③ ♀9703 + 704 abandoned Pipeline ~ 15 Sept 1982
± 2 weeks.
④ ♀NBE877] moved to warp 5 ~ 1 Sept 1982 ± 1 month
First seen here by Alan 6 Oct.
Worth noting here that we don't have good
information on whether ♀877 arrived before or
after ♀703 + 704 moved to Pipeline. Thus, we
don't know what movement precipitated the other-
23 March Walked up here on a lark at 0950 in the slim hope that
I might see some birds. I actually do OK. I flush
3 birds when I walk up, two of which prove to be
♂636 Green/06-16br and ♀NB. I didn't get
a look at the 3rd bird, but ♂S28 seems likely. 1025,
I suspect the 3rd bird is ♂, which further suggests ♂S28
2 May Stroll up here to say hello to the holes 1430. Nothing's up -
10 May 1245 I find a bird looking out of the lower Black Oak
hole, Will have to check it soon!
19 May Finally get up here with Philip to open the hole, I find two
pin-feathered, eye-opened nestlings, ~ 16 days old.
Will have to band them ~ 25 May
WARP 5 ABANDONED Fall 83
