K-5 active
3 never started
13 pending
23 failed
M-3 active
11 fledged
3 pending
= 26 unsucc., 11 successful
E-4 active
8 [illegible] pending
= 36 possible success/nests
Weather:
min of rain at night.
Overcast to partly cloudy, slight wind.
So the totals above are the
numbers of successful and possibly
successful nests that are presently
known. Just under 1/3 of those with
e ggs at some point have succeeded
thus far. I found another egg-less
nest at first beach today. Are we
catching them before they have a chance
to lay, have they already been depredated,
or did they grow and fledge without us? I
suspect the middle option.
We netted at Well today, again, and
caught another 2 unBDM's (plus 2 previously
banded.) I was getting snappish simply
because I'm worried about not being able
to get everything done before the end
