14 April 0630 Mouse nest in hole cleaned out (Keith
reports activity here)
26 April 1430 Empty - not looking used.
13 April Keith reports bird in a hole above box 340!
15 May 1430 A NOBA 7 Flushes from the top of the 3 holes.
I hear kids. I misjudge the delicacy of the door
area and the door splits. Jassy rig + DAP will
do til tomorrow. Anyway, so I open it and it
contains 3 Freshly hatched (today) chicks + their
egg shells + 1 unhatched egg. So much for an
aviary switch! I of course left weighing gear, so
no day 0 wt. Keith reports another Acw nest near
box 344.
16 May Bird in hole on arrival, so they don't mind the cut out.
(It was a banded 8) Keith showed me the other
active hole further uphill. It was empty but in good
shape (Fresh chips) Back to FRSR to weigh kids
