7 April 0910-0945: watched group from a distance
to check for nest. I suspect the tree
where they're 2nd nest last yr was is
the ticket. I suspect a limb on the
W side of the trunk (opp of where was
last yr)
W
here
E
last yr.
The cavity which they used last yr seems
to be occupied by a family of titmice
with hatched young (on 7 April). Actually
I'm not sure which hole it is - there are
several close to e/o.
8 April 0815-0845 Spied on suspect holes - no action -
well actually there was vegetation in the way
and birds were there in general area - but
helloing failed
10-1015. No success w hello. Titmice are
nesting near woodpecker holes, but not in
them. Its (tit) cavity has a smaller entrance.
9 April 1010-1025 watched hole. Nothing - may not be a
nest after all.
12 April 1650 checked the tree again. No Flashes.
13 April 1015 Found nest :< in that tree.
