No change at 0800.
Barcroft along 6th Field, Vest C
No change, Still incubating. I am afraid
these eggs won't hatch; it's been too long.
Inside N Clone Edwards Field, Vest G-
R-4 2.7 gm youngest (?)
R-3 2.5 gm oldest - down dry
R-1 2.3 gm next oldest (?)
At 1630, felt in nest and thought there was
one young. At [illegible] 1815 returned with
balance, found 3 youngs. On R-4 + R-1,
thedown was not yet dry but matted
and wet. R-3 had the down dried + fluffy.
All bezzled, heard no sound. Could not
hold heads up, nor right themselves.
This nest is very high and is protected
from above by a large branch, so is very
hard to look into.
