(3 May) After this I took the 5 babies down and bled them; see
next record for details. They are now #1795-1799.
4 May
1020. Trying again for a bit, looking especially for The mysterious
81026.
1110. Got 81340! Only the mysterious 81026 left.
5 May
720-1020. Watched here, looking for 81026. Saw 81027, 81212,
and that's about it. I'd say these birds need a few days to
recover.
6 May
See back for consideration of the 81026 problem.
10 May
Steve claims to have seen 81026 feed "several times," but
since he doesn't remember having seen 8122 I'm not sure
I believe him. In any case, I'm here at (SSD) to try one
more time for him.
1615. He's definitely here: 8 M/LP-LA #1026 at hole - didn't go in!
1718. 8 Or/Mv-DB(CN) ?? uWho is this? Legs mixed up?
1725. Leaving. Head hurts!
11 May
1500. Back to try one more time.
1725. 8 Yel/m #1583 fed. 1734. 8??2 fed
1804. Mystery 8 again: 8 Or/DB-Nv(n)
1810. 81026 fed but didn't go in the hole!
1830. Giving up.
12 May
1635. And again, going for either 81026 or the mystery 8.
Seen feeding: 81212,
1717. Got 81026!! No! Turns out to be 81583! I goofed! Oh well.
Wasn't really any excuse for that!
1745. Back again.
1830. That's all.
