Nine new captures were banded:

Total banded population now 30:
Adults: 3 9 4 9, Imm.: 7 9 16 9.
Calculation of population size
from "Lincoln Index" (ratios of banded birds
caught) gives a population of 42:
Adults: 3 9 5 9, Imm. 9 9 25 9.
Small number of adults caught makes the cal-
culation doubtful; disparity in sexes of the
immatures suggests differential trappability.
Compare these figures with the recent
count of 21 99 - 28 99.
