Despite the weirdness of 19 Apr, Fuchet effect birds are still there. 6 May Roost watch: Not a peep, except for some noise down towards Wolf. I torched R1 r Wolf holes or got nothing. 6 June 0845 I see a 9. Good ID of 8'1573. 9 is KPW/w (or maybe RW/LM). Anyway. A suspicious Flight. Then, using my unparalleled nest finding abilities, I find the nest. Babies! Bird still went all the way in. The nest is SE of the big skinny snag over by the creek. Wow! No longer Finch effect! 1630 Cut open hole or banded 2 22-day old chicks. Yikes! 7 June The plot thickens.... the BF (1683) showed up today ... and the "new" 9 is actually 1938, a HF born in 91.
