13 Mar J. roast watch. Reports that 4-5 birds went to
the lone N tree (fill 92 tree)(G the 2nd
hole I ever cut open tree) though I assume they
went to the 92 hole on the underside of
the horiz branch. Maybe ambush tomorrow nite.
15 Mar Set ambush in horiz hole. Starling went into the
'85 hole. ACW into horiz hole @ 1820. Around 1830
2 others went in. Shortly thereafter 3 birds
arrived. One looked in, then returned to other 2. (Bj
All 3 sat awhile then disappeared (away? into a
hole on the other limb on the ambush side of
the tree?) 1835 a bird went in, afterwhich
I thought I heard some activity elsewhere in the
tree. Hmm. So 4 in, and ≥ 6 in the group.
16 Mar Ambush! Yesterday I checked the door - it was nice
or loose, but this am I discover that the bark was
loose - the wood was wedged tight! Damn, so
it was awhile b4 I could bleed anyone. Caught
BM (popeye!) and NOBA HM ! Hoory! Also 2
99 (both HF). 88 to lab For lap.
0830 Released 88. HM Flew Fine, BM Flew very poorly.
29 Mar 0640-0700 Spy From CVZ. Lots of Flying about,
but didn't really look like mate-guarding. No visits
to holes (except maybe the high hole past the bee
hive in the traditional tree).
1 Apr 1115 Helloid all holes - nuthin. Very Few acorns
