1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus 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
