31 Mar 1040 LP-K/LB : 1573 seen at 91 nest hole.
19 Apr Before roosting, V&J report garricks, drumming, chasing.
26 Apr am. 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. Lucest!!
8 June Put up a platform. Put some Food on.
4 Sept Put Food on platform, the sycamore granary leaning.
