21 May
Bancroft, Nest P
L-1 16.2 gm. 8th Prim. 8mm.
A very few mid-lack feathers out of sheaths.
Also a few on flank, and a couple on ventral
surface of this. A few humeral and lesser
coverts also out. Into a number of
support lower ventral feathers out of
sheaths. Shrieked in my hand, but was
fairly quiet. Tail sheaths barely out.
Gaped once on balance.
R-3 14.6 gm.
8th Prim. 8mm.
Gaped with legs up notes when taken
from nest. A few humeral feathers some
mid-lack flank, + very few thigh
many ventral feathers out of sheath.
No coverts. Probably not quite as
well developed as L-1. Tail not out.
All birds crouched silently when I first
got to nest, but L-1 (?) gaped when I
shook nest hard. Birds seem rather
weak + uncoordinated.
