28 June 1400 - 1415 looked unsuccessfully for
2nd nest.
3 July census: 718, 942, 1103, 1104
Could not find 2nd nest.
5 July 1230 - 1300 Could not find 2nd nest.
late July tried again - no luck
19 Aug 1500 - 1530. "Census" Saw 942, 1103. I played
the power struggle tape for about 5 sec.
Immediately, 2 birds appeared at the old
nest (in the knothole). One bird looked inside
before flying off. I watched the hole for
a while, but no action. I later climbed
the tree, but couldn't reach the bottom of
the hole. Keep an eye on this group. They
are due for another nest
21 Aug 1300. No response to hello from Knot-hole or
any other hole. This group has some acorns
still stored from last year.
