1986 M. Stanback M. formicivorus Upper Arnold 2 HNHR 26 April 1400 Removed baby (34.6 g, eyes closed) and added to BKOK's nest. See BKOK notes 27 April 1500 Put this baby (now 39.0, eyes open) back in with its sibs. It's 'same' size sib from yesterday weighs only 36.5. See Sue's NA2 nest watch notes - but beware - she didn't have a roof on the blind - so the birds were wary. 8 May 1200 Banded and bled 5 babies. The baby that spent a day in BKOK's is the biggest (He is the one with the white band) I banded (but didn't bleed) the runt. He weighed @ 25 g while his sisters + bros weighed @ 70. Walter said he was dead meat so he took him. (I have my doubts - I mean, if he lived this long...) 30 June heard babies. Climbed #5 hole + other for nestthodata 2 July Banded 3 babies - 1 was runt
