3 Apr 0710-0730 Spied From lab, Saw 4 birds (plus
a 5th that was chased repeatedly). At one
point a starling Flew Towards the uphill
hole (pointing To Fence), but ACW's chased it and
then landed r looked in. Quite a bit of
starling chasing in this part of the tree,
but no more visits to the hole.
11 Apr Eric r Veronica both report Blm two helper ?(2123?)
Wow! this is a Fall baby breeding now ! Reproductive
at age 6 months !!
3 June 1630 Well, the ladder doesn't reach ... but I manage
to rig it so I can reach the (very rotten) hole.
I put a gall on instead of an ambusher. Pole?
7 June 1230 Finally Figured out how to get into the hole.
B = 47.2, Y = 47.6, - = 35.2. Set + tied off an
ambusher. Est hatch: 27 May
8 June Set + ready at 0630. ♂ 1856 started coming at
0655, but I want 1857 (1856 has no tail). At
0735 ♀ 1857 came r went in - but backed
out as I pulled the string - Disaster! Off he
Flew- terrified. Bugger all - will I ever get him now.
Well, I finally did catch him(T), after which 1856(C)
was a cinch. 1856's tail has been cut straight
off, like scissors ... so he won't have a tail
'til he molts, r even then it will be gradual.
21 June 1430 Banded + bled kids (semi ss). See cap recs
