HASTINGS
29 MAY 12:00 - checked nest in sycamore (high hile
with opening on front and back). Bird in
hole when I arrived. 5 eggs - each with some
bird feces on outside - unclear if they are
alive. Possible that these eggs were
abandoned and a bird is now incubating*
eggs again.* However eggs were fairly cold-
older than expected given time bird was
out of cavity.
7JUNE 10:45 - Checked nest for hatching. - Only
lyoung bird + 3 unhatched eggs. Baby is 4-5
days old.
