| Comments:
The
numbers are looking good, despite the presence of crows and
kestrels! We are continuing to see at least a few new nests
every week. We spooted a pair of kestrels on Friday in one
of the pailm trees across PDH. Wally came out while we were
monitoring to set some traps. |

| Have
a great week. |
