Keep Out
25 March 1245-1345 F dig up a full census here.
Red/Red 706 m/, and 705 m/ Red-white,
9567 M/Red,
Still a few acorns here, but not many. 9567 seen
Sapsucking from a Valley Oak SW of the granary
16 May Still acorns + some birds hanging around here. Found a
nice potential nest hole that looked fairly new up toward
(V0)
Lambert, plus one is the wrecked stub where Al nested
last year. Both are abit far removed from KO proper,
but worth keeping an eye on
23 May Yes keep out has a nest! In the hole in the V0
up toward Lambert, I twice flushed an adult and
twice heard the sounds of very young nestlings (< 5
days, for sure). The tree is climbable, but F was
almost up to the nest when I discovered that the nest
limb was a bit dead and a bit hollow. It will be safer
to try it later with the rope ladder.
4 June 1130, I find KO is out of usable acorns, and I'm
wondering if the nest may have failed during the
mis-able weather of the last few days.
1200, Nope, while watching Lambert I hear a bird
waka + baby noise from the KO nest hole.
Wrong, wrong wrong! This is Lambert's nest!
See M. Lambet notes. Does keep out have a nest?
If so, where is it?
12 June Walter finds the nest here, in the partially burned
Live Oak near the granary. Uphep with Philip's short ladder,
we had very old (~30days) 3 nestlings, Juvs. 899-901
