Hell6 holes - nada 14 Apr Arrived early For roost watch, hell'od holes - nada, no Food eaten From Feeder. Around roosting time @ 6 birds suddenly showed up. They moved around as one, never more than a Foot away From each other, (mate-guarding in a big big way) Finally roosted at 1900 in last years nest hole. Dare I ambush? The 41 tree is dead.

Hmm Clipped toenails: FR= 4.45 FL=5.5 RR=4.4 2 May Roost watch (mer Jin) Birds wanted to go in the low hole, but changed their minds (a lot of yelling - did they see Jim?)
