Nuttalls, however, were w/in 30 yds almost entire time, drumming, vocalizing, chasing etc. None checked out this hole, however. The door is missing From the Rain nest hole, so it looks like that hole is no longer a candidate. Cut new (low!) door in 85 hole 29 Mar Cindy says I spent an hour in a high inaccessible rotten hole. A nest? This early? In that hole? Lets hope not! Cindy will watch there in the early am. (no one in hole) 2 April A.m. Heavy duty mate guarding.

She then went inside and immediately stuck her head out. (Was that a wood chip on her bill? Lets hope so) She had her head out most of the time for the next 10 minutes. She left the hole and flew to another branch. No one went to the hole for the next 5 mins. Then they all left gran alarmed. None went to 96 hole. Damn.
