The Catharus thrushes are in full swing, squabbling
in the bushes & flitting about like manakins.
The pig escaped again, but I saved
my clothes. Their migration seems to
be in full swing.
11 April 2002
We were awakened by the pig escaping, again, at 5:30am.
Not the best way to start the day. I
started at nest E-2 & found the female RR/2
feeding the chick. I saw a chick & an egg
when I looked in the nest at 07:30, but when I
checked again at 10:00, thinking of bleeding the
chick, there were two chicks'. I'm waiting until
tomorrow to bleed them.
We discussed the seeds-under-nests paper
idea after dinner, & the consensus is that we
should proceed, though confounding variables like slope
that the nest is on may make our results not-
very-useful.
