1989 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus LAMB HNHR Dec 88 Acorn Count: 3800 21 Mar 0920 : saw 1491. Hello holes - nothing. 23 Mar 0940 Saw 762. Hellb holes - nothing. However, the 88 hole looks like the entrance has been cleaned up a little bit. 28 Mar 1040 Hello holes - nothing. Saw 916, 1489, 762 Saw & KPN O. (I'll assume this is 1378) 1135 - 1150 Spied on 88 tree - no interest in holes. 29 Mar Lynn reports no interest in holes 1 Apr 1030 Hello holes - nada. Saw 1488 1489. 3 Apr am Patti; reports birds hanging out in big summit tree. 10 Apr 1015 Climb 88 hole - Damn - a mouse nest (avec mouse) I that I had checked the hole. Damn. I also checked several other holes in the tree - nada. 11 Apr 1500 Finally - bird in a hole. Too bad it took me so long to re-check the summit. Either I missed it earlier or its very newly built. Climbed - its very deep, so I'll wait till I get the drill. Besides - the eggs look opaque (but there're only 5 eggs). 12 Apr 1645 Climbed after Patti's watch. Still 5 eggs - not opaque - they've still on the Fresh side 18 Apr 0835 Put tangleFoot on trunk. No one in hole! 22 Apr 1330 Empty! and so is the 88 hole. 27 Apr 1500 Climbing to check the 88 hole, I see a bird Flush nearby or behind. About 3 Feet up From 88 is an east Facing hole (they were in it (playing) last year. Peeped. 4 (Fresh?) eggs. No saw w me.
