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.

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.

first.
