Note that we have 2 groups here again: Y and the Knoll set. See Katy's notes for details.
$971. This bird is gone, but we need Philip's
notes to find out when. Apparently she was last
seen for sure on 26 April and may have disappeared
then. Philip saw her 31 Apr, gone 30 June? DA 31 May? LM.

13 April
530. last night Mark S. and I caught $675 and $754
together in the canyon hole. This morning (early) I released
the former, holding onto $754 for the 3rd temporary
removal of the spring.
18 April
1100. Well. It turns out they have a nest here in a new hole
in the locusts by the barn, and they have babies.
So obviously the $ removal is screwed up. So I injected
him in an attempt to salvage something and let him go.
1400 Opened the hole. 3 babies + 1 runt egg (!); babies are
probably in day 3. That means hatching on 15 April, last
egg on 5 April, and est FED of 2 April.
20 April
Tried to catch $754 feeding, but he never came to the nest.
My 1st failure to complete a labelled water run.
