BLM!
Hastings Reservation
10 June 0800 Hole is in the more S of the 2 lone
trees to the W of the granary. Hole is
in Kurt hole very low to the ground.
View from N
[illegible] big roots in big tree
12 June 1145 watched hole described on 10 June and
the hole that group was showing interest in
several weeks ago. No birds seen at
any hole. Checked abandoned nest from
ground. No birds. I checked the 10
June hole. It is deep and goes straight
into the mass of the trunk. I need the
peeper to check out the inside. Is it
too thick to cut?
16 June 0800 Begin watch
0830 ♂ flew to low hole in tree between
mud pond and abandoned nest (ie the hole
that the birds were working on on 21 May)
He looked in once but mostly just sat
outside and looked around. After 5 minutes
he flew back to the granary.
0855 heard birds on BLM knoll.
