R-1 3.3 gm.
R-3 3.1 gm.
L-1 2.5 gm. - squeaked while weighing.
L-1 is new bird hatched since yesterday
morning. Guess it will have to be unknown.
It appears no different than others, is heavily
downed. All birds have primaries
showing as buds, dark spots on crown
and back.

0640 L-1 in nest. Jumped from my hand
repeatedly. Took him to take back
to lab. (N'2) Somehow got out
of my pocket, just as I was
writing this, I saw him on ground,
but he got away into Rubus. Could
not find or get him.
