18 May 1000 Cruised by. Saw sex birds, but no nests.
27 May pm Cruised for nests - saw nothing.
19 June 1410 Acorn Count: 305
1 July 0900 Saw 9 WM (for sure - though the W could have been a faded anything) w 2 88 in the 86 nest tree.
1100 Flushed 1262 From granavy - he flew in the direction of the "Bln3 annex" granary over at Rain saddle. When I got there, there was a 8 or 9 in the tree. At first I thought I saw OKW on her, but when I saw that leg again, it looked like LBOL. The left leg looked like W-LBT. So... not a great ID, but she's not 1170. Problem, when the 8 or 9 finally Flushed From "Bln 3 annex", they flew toward Gazebo - who are these birds!?!
17 Aug 1600 No action at Bln 3 gran area - however, Bln 3 annex had at least 4 birds, including a 9. They were on the hill S of the annex granary, almost making me wonder whether they are Gazo (I think they are Gazo.
22 Aug 0945 9 1261 (was H) seen w ND8A 88 near CVZ.
26 Aug 0830-0930 Power struggle or some such weirdness. Dark Hollow birds involved in some peripheral chases. Only Z 99s seen though - its as if they've won and are getting to know the 88's reluctantly. 88 seen: 1262 and a 8 not on the Field list: 8 YRY / M- . No sign of RWRW -> M-
