1994 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus AL HNHR 2 Apr Hello holes - nada. See a NOBA g here. Hmm 18 Apr Hello holes on way up - nothin. Later ( watch From 1200 - 1220, Some birds but no obvious nestiness. 22 Apr Hello the 2 gran holes - nada 22 May Jeremy Finds nest! With big babies! He does a watch while I take Kout bird down For lap. I return w climbing gear r open the paper thin nest. 4 jumpy babies. Band, bleed, r put hole together with rubber bands (diam of nest limb @ > inches !) There's a NOBA g here & several Al g's. The nest is near edge of woods up From A1 toward summit. 25 May Walt set an ambush at the snag hole in gran last night, Katy saw 3 birds go in. We come out this am, I pull string, it breaks. Damn. But I don't hear birds Flushing. Roost watch: Katy sees 2 birds in at same hole (Walt had reset ambush). Will try in a.m. 26 May Ambush! Pull string at 0335. Katy overslept so I'm solo. Caught BM 2262, the NOBA BF (now 2462 ... yea!) and... BM 2165 From Kout! I know he's From here, but it's still strange. His lap/implant doesn't look good (all yellow, etc). He weighed 77, but now I forget if that was with or without the 3.5g hood (his pre-lap weight was 77). lapped 2262 in Field. Bad view. Damn.
