7 April
Greenhouse area, Nest B
0600, vt 15.6 gm Prim.
This bird found dead in nest. It was very
windy last night, very cool if not down-
night cold. this bird probably did not have
enough feather cover to keep warm, I
will preserve him for further study.
Cat. # 175. See catalog.
SE Corner Univ. + Fulton, Nest F
0615 Marked - vt. 18.0 Prim. 18mm.
All primaries are out of sheath, feathers
on back of head are out, on forehead not. All
others out, except central rectrices the
sheaths are barely out. But even on these
the ends are broken. Gaped in my hand.
Unmarked - vt 17.1 gm Prim. 18mm.
Gaped when I first reached into nest, again
when I reached for him. Also at this time gave
begging squeak. Then gave protest note when
I touched him. All feathers but an part
of head + primary coverts have come thru
sheaths.
