1985 Mark Starbuck M. formicivorus LA 2 HNHR 26 June 1300 Checked nest. No babies were out near the opening - they were all way in the back of the hole where I couldnt reach. I took out two. One weighed 70.3 g, had eyes open, back feathers out, but 10 sheaths un cracked. Another baby was basically, - similar, but its 1/2 had begun to grow (i.e. ). I reached a stick back into the nest to get to more babies. I touched at least one more. ? Lasso time 1100 28 June Baby A 79.6 (45) D. Blue/L. Green-D. Blue # 1116 L. Green/D. Blue-L.
