1987 M. Stanback M. Formisivorus Arnold Schwartz HNHR 24 Feb 1215 Acorn Count (1 missed 'em in January) Arn Schutz nest tree : 63 3/3 381 total Leaning log down hill : 3(8) 3 381 this limb (one end is on the ground) may be a Koutgran 6 April 1330 Bird in 86 hole (but is it a Lamb bird?) There was a Coopers hawk. 9 April 1045 climbed 86 hole - empty. New hole started several feet below. [there are KOUTS acorns!] 10 April 1230 holboed hole - no response 20 April 1430 86 hole w Fresh chips . 310 acorns 27 April 0745 86 hole empty. 4 May 1000 4 rather Fresh eggs, but whose nest is it ? 5 May 0930 Bird Flushed From hole and Flew east (avoiding Lamb) 7 May Loretta reports ARSW bird near hole 12 May 0900 Hatch Day. 2 hatched (one of them being still attached to the egg - he was marked RW) The other was marked LL. They were not weighed because the ANTS were the worst I've ever experienced. They were so thick they were in my eyes & mouth. They were walking down my fingers to the babies & biting them. I set the blind up on the uphill side toward Lamb, since the ideal downhill spot was beside their granary. no one in hole on arrival 13 May 0715 Damn, are they abandoning? And I had it timed perfectly. Anyway LL weighed 4.0 + DEAD. The other baby (RW) weighed 4.1 + wasn't looking great. Only 1 egg remaining kept dead one and it was pipping and peeping (there were 2 yesterday) Ants ?
