14 Mar J roost watches - 2 birds into ravine nest hole
16 Mar Set ambush. Bugger all - only 1 bird in (a ♂ I think)
Another bird sat in tree or yelled or left. I
think I heard a 3rd bird. I do believe those
3 HM are gone. I suppose I'll ambush tomorrow.
17 Mar Ambush! (HSTPD, HBDE). To my chagrin, the door was
not removable (yesterday it wobbled but that was
before it started sliding) Anyway, I ♂, but its a HM
(whose bands are wrong on the Fieldlist). Did an
initial - 1 hr bleed. Left a gall near hole. Lap.
29 Mar 0630 Hello holy tree or ravine hole - nothin.

4 Apr Hello holes - nothin
12 Apr Walt Finds nest - 2 eggs. I set blind. New hole - over-
hangs the road in the holy tree.
13 Apr Thanks alot Walt - I ask you not to cut the hole until!
After the watch - you do it right beforehand!
Anyway, Katy sees 2 ♂ Helpers incubating!
14 Apr 0830 Walt climbs - Finds just 3 eggs. Did you think
that perhaps this isn't the best time to mark eggs?
Roost watch: Katy watches ravine hole - no one shows. She
hears birds at nest tree.
15 Apr Katy roost watches From blind - sees 3 birds into high hole
