One is open (high) x the other is about 5 Feet below it, both Facing uphill. The lower one had 2 birds in it, the higher just a bird sitting outside it. After the all clear, several birds went to the lower. I climbed both. The lower had shit in the bottom, the higher was cleaner, but didn't seem too nesty. 28 Apr 0945 Climbed nest (Thanks Walt) → Found 1 egg. Couldn't reach it (even widened the hole) 2 May After changing nest holes and [illegible] egg tossing, they Finally both lay in a new hole. Danny does pm watch, I roost watch. Eventually just 1 bird in (not a popular hole - the one above was crowded. Bitter starling wars. One wanted in a hole in the tree beyond or the ACW's Fought tooth & nail (grappling to ground!)
