(26 June)
I found 7 eggs - which seemed
a little cool to the touch - reminding
me that I didn't see a bird in the
hole upon arrival. But then again.
She/he may have flushed while I
was approaching and not looking.
The egg sizes were
25.0 x 20.3
25.4 x 18.3
23.5 x 19
36.4 x 18
19.2 x [illegible] 14.2 (runt)
23.2 x 18.2
24.5 x 19.7
Let's hope they don't abandon.
28 June 1030 bird seen flushing from nest (?)
3 July 0730 No bird at hole. Couldn't hear babies.
1030 Bird in hole. Checked nest - still eggs.
21 Aug 1015 No sign of a new nest anywhere.
Few acorns stored.
