Road 3 - MacFlat
H/NHR
2 Mar Roost watch. Jeremy watched R3 gran r saw
2 (illegible) birds go into the lower creek
Facing hole. I watched at McFl r got
4 (?) birds into a new hole near the creek in
a skinny snag SSW of the McFl tree. They
roosted @ 1820 (see R1 For comparison).
5 Mar Cut open hole + set ambush at R3-McFl. Birds
wanted in, but bark had fallen, etc, so the difference
Freaked them. No one in. Will remove ambush in am.
8 Mar J roost watched. 4 birds into creek Facing gran
hole. 2 (?) birds went toward new hole.
9 Mar Plugged up new snag hole w Rameling by setting R1 ambush
11 Mar Roost watch. 3 birds in, then a 4th in, then a 5th
sits outside being upset (the original 4 were very
hesitant). 5th Flies away, followed by a bird from
the hole. Later a 4th goes in. All quiet. (On the way
here I checked to see that snag hole was stuffed w
lichen - it was.
12 Mar Ambush! 4 birds (BM, HM, 2 HF). Being paranoid, I
bleed + release BM w/o lapping (only after performing
a perfect lap on the HM do I regret this decision)
Oh well, I'll compare their T+ LH levels. The HF
were sexed For the First time! On my way back, I
find the lichen gone From the snag hole. (?!)
1 Apr Hello holes (gran + new McFl); see nothing
