1987 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus Y HNB 3 April 1615 filled dog food feeder (was almost empty) 11 April cleaned part of a starling nest out of the locust hole. 12 April 1045 3 1150 is working on a new hole facing the lane in the top of the sycamore just above and around from the 85 b hole.

Shit, I should have measured the eggs (to see effect of dog food) The experiment is on! 13 May 1330 Food level marked 14 May 1400 " 15 1300 " 16 1100 " 17 May 1400 Level mark. Then Feeder filled to top of tape. 18 May 1300 Food hasn't gone down any, but I think (19 did mark it?) its just an artifact of being so full (ie, it may take a while to get unpacked) 20 May 1100 Food level took big dive. Katy reports a bird brought food (tipulid) to the hole)
