15 May Barrow Lane, NE corner Adm Bldg. West F
Weighed these birds about 167-1730 hrs. They
sat up & legged when I touched nest, all
but one which seems very weak. All
eyes are still closed. The sheaths of the
primary feathers are protruding a very little
bit, but others are still under skin. All
but one active on scales, but not so much
so as yesterday. Some of them when
handled gave a very weak sound that
I could barely hear. It is very high pitched,
not loud.
16 May Trinity Church Parking Lot, E. Side - Pair
of birds making a fuss when I am
in bushes here. Cannot find a nest. One
of the birds ( & I think ) was carrying food.
There must be young on the ground.
This is probably the pair that had Nest D.
Those young if alive should be independent
so this must be a second brood.
Barrow Lane Nest F - Weighed the young
about 1730 hrs. Their eyes are open a
little shit. Primaries are out in sheaths
about 5mm, feathers on back and
above legs just barely through skin.
Birds are active but mainly quiet on
scales.
17 May Weighed these young ones about 1730. Their
eyes are definitely open now. They seems
active I could hardly keep them on the
balance. Plus the fact that the wind was
blowing pretty good makes me doubt
the accuracy of these weights. However,
