20 strichial mutabilis 28. 13pm, Inside NW corner Edwards Field, West C R-3, worn fluffy on head, humerus, radius, lack, flank. Shin yellow yellowish, was very pink yesterday. Gaped. R-1 Worn dry & fluffy not as leavy as a R-3. Seems like lesson lack. D-4 Fell onto back, could not right itself. Gaped over from that position. All birds gaped at the slightest provocation. If they were on balance pan and it moved, they gaped. Also when I holding mirror or my hand to nest. Looks like a tactile stimulus, due to movement. Barrow Barnett along 9th Field Center Sec. at extreme upper part of sec. by gate, in cotoneaster, found a nest with 4 eggs, call it Nest H, & is incubating. Am reasonably sure this is the second nest of the pair that had Nest A. SE Lowe Sec, Nest C No change around 0700. SE Corner Univ + Fulton area of Nest F. Both adults upset when I was in area. Finally heard a fluttering in brush that indicates a young one. Greenhouse Area, Been above Ec Found nest with 2 eggs, Nest I. It is probably second nest of pair that lost Nest B. The nest is in a trough of potted plants outside a greenhouse. It is at the base of the highest of these plants, a small tree. Marked eggs 1 & 2, but don't know which is first.
