swarm-list Mailing List: Re: swarm in Berkeley a couple of blocks from Ashby and Sacramento in an oak tree about 7 feet up football size

[Gerald Przybylski (gtp000000]

    After a while I texted Jim N because it's not far from his house.
    He said he would get it, but can't claim it because he doesn't do
    email from his phone. 
    
    If you're not enthusiastic, I can text the info to Jim.  
    If you Are enthusiastic, you get it because you're the first email
    claim.

I can maybe get this one if nobody else can, but I'm worried about the oak tree part -- I've often had difficulty getting them out of oak trees, because they're usually on some thick branch I can't easily whack with a pole and bucket.

Do we know how it's hanging on there, and if it's really just 7 feet? Is there a picture?
