12 Mar Arrive For roost watch. Again, there's a bird up
at those crappy looking holes 10 Ft up From the
nest Facing granary. I set ambush at trad
hole. A starling went in. As I wait I notice
a new looking hole Facing Hastings up at that
"crappy" section. I decide not to ambush the
starling, since a bird did roast in the tree
(not in that upper hole though - I watched)
