1. Grotz 1985 journal 22. March 16 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. March 17 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.
