1992 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus KOUT HNHR 2 May 0745 Jim shows me the hole. No one there. Its the middle hole in the trunk (burned-dead) Facing ARSW. 0845 I check the holes (there are 3 here) The middle one has mold r is a dead end, the one on the left is OK; the one on the right is nice - but I'm not sure whats really up. 1830 Set ambush at right hole (what the heck). Didn't cut it open tho(since not sure). Shoulda. 4 birds into hole. Ambush tomorrow. Yikes. 3 May Ambush! But not 4 birds - just 2. 1127 (bled quickly) and a NOBA ♂ (now 2022). Who is this bird. Are there 99 here at all? I did notice a NOBA ♂ yesterday eating acorns when the owners left. Paint: 1127 = pink, 1221 = blue, 2022 = blue cheeks, yellow Forehead spots Roosting: Set ambush again (cut the hole open). No one showed any interest in that tree 6 May 0915 Hello holes - nothing, but lots action at ARSW. 11 May 0900 Hello holes - .. 1015-1050 Spy.
