6:45 am

Went out and moved JK's so the west row has a concentration. Also added one more JK I found in my garage. I think that means we have 20 in the field. Took 45 min.

Observed: 7 robins w/ 5 more on the very southern end of the field, saw around 11 finches. No Starlings.

The early variety of blueberry (can't remember the name) is around 45-55% ripe blue.

9:00 am

Observed: a pair of Rough-legged hawks resting on telephone poles directly west of the field, about 1/4 mi away. Likely the same pair we've been sighting recently.

REMEMBER: The villain is the Starling. It is not the grower.
