Testing of vocalizations. Birds 303, 304,
307, 308, 309, and 313 were recorded
and killed. 305, 306, 310, 311, 312
were kept at home overnight.

ABS, M
At about 10:00 I took the new
captives up to ABS to be recorded. All
were recorded, and birds 310, 311, and 312
were killed. 305 (male) and 306 (female), both
Type 4's, were kept and put in
with 273 and 274. The other
birds were o.k. 301 & 302 (juveniles)
in good shape -- begging from "59" and
being fed. "06" and "40" o.k. -- no
nesting -- "40" in song. I put a
large fresh branch from Bishop pine
(collected yesterday) into their cell.
I flushed "33" from her nest --
now has 3 eggs. "43" was in song.
I thought I heard a lone Type 4
crossbill near ABS during the
recording sessions. Also, "33" flushed
easily from the nest -- I couldn't
touch her before she flew off.
