MURF HNHR
30 May 1630 Climbed, Empty, but Fresh chips indoor. Well
Bozo, you missed your chance to kill the bees.
15 Aug Live oaks here have a great crop of acorns.
23 Aug 0900 8' YL? in upper Murf tree (on top of
hill) 2 other birds there. One flew toward
cv road (way far), making me think Murf may
be split in 2 (a cv1 version or a knoll version)
24 Aug 0945 8' 967 is at cv1
27 Aug 1645 " w cv1 birds
* Group Update: Maria has seen all 4 Murf birds
at Murf (966, 967, 1144, 1338) 8' 967 continues to
have dual status at Murf r cv1.
21 Sept 0700-0800 Watched from various places. No one
seen visiting "nest" hole, Cyndy hole. Most activity
is in Cyndy tree. They are storing acorns. The
birds on top of Murf Knoll are CVette birds. I
saw one fly from the CVette tree over to Murf Knoll.
26 Sept 0745-0845 Watched for nestiness from several places.
At 0840 a bird went to the 86a hole, and
sat at it for @ 2 min, occasionally sticking his
head in. This was the only interest in holes that
I saw. Pair of starlings here. Boo!
9 Oct 1615 Saw 967 r 1338
17 Dec Acorn Count: 86a nest tree 6100
86b nest tree (many holes still covered w P.O. (now dead)) 1400
total = 7500
Saw 967, 1338, 4 DB-W/LB
