1987 M. Stanback 2 M. Formicivorus CVGR HNHR 5 April Cyndy r I clogged up the high rotten hole in the granary So much For nest site selection. 8 April 86 hole empty 9 April 85 hole (F troop) empty, dirty - not looking nisty. 12 April 86 hole empty, but in good shape. The hole below it and to the left (dead starling 86) has too thick-deep an eutvance For peeping, but I thought I saw a bird Flush From here (?) the other day. 13 April 1630 Bird at 86 hole on arrival. No eggs. 14 April 0615 ? 15 April 1700 Eggs! #1 5.1 g 25.7 19.25 a? #2 5.1 g 24.45 19.35 b. 16 April 1630 #3 5.1 g 25.0 19.4 a? #4 5.1 g 24.5 19.4 b? 17 April 1700 only 4 eggs! Did the incub watch begin too early? 28 April 1430 #5 24.6 19.5 b? #6 25.25 19.4 a? My guess is that the "incub" watch did begin too early and that the blind was too close. 28 April 1800 Eggs #5, 3, 2 pipping (especially #5). #3 peeped at me. Eggs 4 & 6 stayed in the egg holder while I climbed down. I hope they're OK. 29 April 0700 Eggs 1-4 hatched. 5's pip may be a crack-wound. Hatch Egg # 2 3 1 4 6 LL RL LW RW 4.35 4.38 4.31 3.85 6.25 7.1 6.85 5.15 4.17 30 April 0600
