(15 Mar) who, I would bet, has not been seen since
banding. We, pissed as we were, did not Move
the Feeders. P.S. This bird was in the bottom hole
PPS 3 birds showed up once it got light.
14 Apr 1000 6 Fresh eggs in the new hole just distal to
the 93 hole. 4 bigger, 2 smaller. #1-2 looked
newest, though I wouldn't put money on it. I
checked the old uphill-facing hole r even opened it
(to clear out the mouse nest) only to have a
woodrat face me once I got the door out. I
left him alone r replaced door. So much For
my plans of catching helpers here to implant P-1.
Now I'll have to catch them 1 Foot away at the
93 hole. Risky... Will return later today to
set a blind.
20 Apr Oh well, there goes Chongo. Eggs removed For removal
experiment.
25 Apr 0530 No pipping yet.
See Joey's notes (r/or the capture recs For hatch
order, etc)
26 Apr 0600 Eggs 3-6 hatched egg — pipping
29 Apr Set ambush at new (nest) hole. Starling into other hole.
Joey scared them From BANX, but they didn't come
over here like last night,
30 Apr Try again. No luck. Not even a starling (though one
ACW roosted just downhill From blind). Took down
the ambusher.
