Lambert seems to have been abandoned as a result of the crash. 6 Dec Watching here 1110, after Susan and I have placed ~1500 acorns in the granary. All but ~50 were put into the fallen "main" granary. About 50 were put into the "south" fe-celine Valley Oak (82 nest tree) ~1100 of the acorns were collected by Susan from Chews Ridge (mostly small Valley Oak, Live Oak + a few Black Oak + Golden Oak). About 400 all were some dry, hard acorns Fcollected (mostly Valley Oak + Live oak, about 50-50) in 1982 and had been dried, then sitting in a bag in my office. 1210. No action here yet. Lots of Scrub Jays flying around (many carrying acorns) but none yet have visited the granary.
