0715. All four young are hatched.
R-1 2.4 gm. Gaped in nest + hand,
down dry, very little matted.
R-3 2.5 gm. Down not quite as dry.
Very still, appears hardly alive.
L-1 [illegible] 2.2 gm.)
L-3 2.4 gm.
L-1 apparently youngest, down very
wet but may be from rain.
1915 R-1 3.5 gm. Others gaped when I
looked at nest, but not thine. Gaped in
my hands when I moved balance. Laid
still if my hand until I moved.
L-1 3.3 gm. Gaped when wind moved
balance. Faint dark streak along hand.
R-3 3.5 Same.
L-3 3.5 Same,
Rather windy, hard to get good weights on
birds, esp. last one. All have dark spots
down back, from neck to tail, all gaped
when moved. A blood vessel running
up right side of neck is prominent on all,
has been on all young birds so far.
Back spots less distinct on L-1
