They were nicely grated by dirt, allowing me to (fairly confidently) number them 1-3 in the (probable) order they were laid. 23 April *Group Update* 81090. Now at Refuge! 5 May 1300. Caught 8984 in the nest as we went up to steal the babies for metabolism. We did the following: ① took all 3 babies, but ② replaced them with a Chongo baby (banded Manue) so they wouldn't fail. 6 May 1500. Returned the babies from to the nest and took the Chongo bird back.
