6 April 0700 5 birds here Cin a vocalizing clump = mate guarding?
Flying around together. I saw a 4 w LB/K-Y
for sure and she doesn't match the field list.
Cyndy watched afterwards and reports nothing unusual.
17 April 0900 Mate guarding, drumming, 1 chase. 2 birds
checked out The 86 Wolf hole together, so I climbed
it. Empty, but nice chips. Gaping hole in back. Repaired.
Alas, I hope they don't use it. Need a watch hole.
23 April 1100 2 birds went to the Wolf hole. One went in. They
also use the Wolf black oak. Climbed - empty.
26 April 1530 Bird to hole
1700 Empty.
2 May 1530 Bird in hole on arrival. Climbed - empty.
8 May 1530 Empty. I'm beginning to have doubts.
13 May 1500 Empty. Really doubting. But I saw a bird flush
from this area of the limb! I watched a while before
climbing; but no one went in despite the fact that this
is their active area. I found Wolf's granary
