Setting ambushes for the Japanese film crew, I noticed a dead bird in the new low hole over by the upper barn (below the 2 prior nest holes). I pulled out a bird, #2277, a '93 Plague kid. She was at least a week old, I'd say. 26 October At the ambushes this morning we only got ♀2428 (molting to ♂) at the upper barn and ♀2426 by the labs. Both were measured (♀2426 only bled) and released.
