Notes
8 were under a single large board, with 5 of these in a ball. Another 5 were under other boards. This day and 2/21/10 were the peak numbers (13) for under the 10 surface objects periodically checked. This up from an average of around 4 that can be found in mid Jan. In the second week of April this number has dwindled down back to around 4 again.
