Birds were hanging out in trees up on the knoll above r to the W of the big tree by the fence. 7 April 0855-0905: watched last yr's nest hole in the lone tree - no action 1021 starling into that nest 1026 lots of activity all am in the trees up From box 233 - starlings were chased from this tree. I suspect a nest 1130 yelled at the tree - flushed two birds couldn't tell which hole though - and they might have just been inside to get out of the rain. Found a dead pigeon. 8 April 0745-0805 spied on my suspect hole - bird roosted here last night - its a hole in the basal portion of a snag. From the fence W → E. No birds here 1030 started watching here again 1041 J & M late (em right) flew to hole, looked inside. I can't tell whether this was the breeder or the helper. I decided to cut open the hole.
