28 Mar 1030 Saw 7 675 (gwl/m) at Barn, also 8 1150
Dec 87 Acorn Count: 420
3 Apr 0930 7 1350 (old Y H/B and present Knol PB) was
here getting chased around the barn by a Y bird.
7 Apr 1450 Eagle eye here spots bird in hole. Need a ladder.
10 Apr 0700 Bird at 87 hole (again 1110)
1400 Check hole - empty, but looks good.
11 Apr 1200 1 Fresh egg - can't reach it (neither can Jane - damn)
12 Apr 1800 Morgan can reach! She takes out the 2 eggs and I put
in wood chips to the desired level. #1 + 2 . 23.3 x 19.55
13 Apr 1720 Labeled egg #3 24.55 x 21.05 • (3) 24.05 x 20.66
14 Apr "" 4 24.9 x 20.7 •
15 Apr 1300 "" 5 25.4 x 20.85
18 Apr 1800 6 eggs 24.85 x 20.35
26 Apr 1600 None hatched yet.
27 Apr 0550 RL = 4.2 LL = 4.15 RW = 4.5 Eggs #1 + 5 pipping,
eggs #6 not yet pipped. Because I weighed them before any
feeding occurred, I think the size dits reflect egg size
dits, ie RW From biggest egg.
Bropped
1210 RL = 5.6 LL = 5.22 RW = 5.55 B = 3.7, LW = 4.6
As eggs 1-5 were at the same stage of pipping this am,
I will assume that LW (bigger) came From egg 5 and that
B came From egg 1. Yes, I dropped RL @ 8 inches.
28 Apr 1145 RL = 8.8 LL = 7.9 RW = 8.45 LW = 6.4 B = 3.55 3.7
29 Apr 1215 13.1 9.5 10.8 8.27 ↓? 3.25
30 Apr 1200 14 12.5 13.8 8.97
1 May 1150 18 14.9 15.5 8.8 (red scale)
