Beech Creek Reserve, 5 mi N Lucerne, Monterey Co., Calif., 400ft.
2 July All transplants empty! Everything quiet.
3 July 0500 hours Looking for fledglings at Transfer #6. Saw one banded
adult heard it chirping with mate. No sign of fledglings. Very quiet.
♂ could give only partial song w/o that much energy. Stayed at
Feynner's last night. He was supposed to arrive late from Santa Cruz but
never showed. He is a Heineken drinker, Rum, Tequila and Red wine.
Picked up liquid N2 tank 2 days ago 10L. The only enclosure that
appeared tampered with was where %/F6 used to be. At this nest the
exclosure was picked up at net cup tilted at 90° down toward side when
exclosure had been tipped. At all others the exclosures were firmly
in place. I believe I need to put on tops, to keep out jays. Talked with
Mark Reynolds on the phone last night. He said he had banded both
transplants! But, unfortunately had broken one nestling's leg so now has only 2
red bands no metal.
