4/May Roosting: 2 birds into nest.
7/May 1800. Just 4 eggs.
19/May 0900 Wing = 9.6, L = 7.3, 1 dead egg, no sign of #4th.
22/May 1700 Shit (27.2, 10.9)? (21.7, 9.8)? (25.15, 20.?)?
28/May Added in 3 M. lewis chicks
31/May Nest ambush (0740-1040). 1081 Fed @ 8 times.
The only other bird to show was 8/1616, whom I caught (see cap rec). At 1000 I heard a juv squee-torring behind me (and a RS Hawk too-close) What's this? A missed nest? Gazo kids? Crazy kids being carried off by a RSHA?
I took 14 tubes of blood from 1816 - I hope he's OK. I quit at 1040 - Fed the kids cat food.
1230-1630: Only 1081 + 1042 Fed (1479 came once but ambusher got stuck. Bad Luck
1 June 0645 Trying again. They feed w/in 3 min of my resetting it. Catch 1479. She still has a radio (sans antennae). I get it off (ouch)
0752 NOBA Female lands near west - is chased away.
0830 G Face Fed
0900 KYK Fed!
Caught KYK - couldn't find implants
2 June 1320 Start again. At 1347 I nail 1826, remove at 1351
Bleed at 1355. Mass = 80.5g, ch = 135, tail = 75
bill = 31.5. Right T implant still in, about 2/4(?)
I remove it w Swiss A.K., but manage to lose it in the grass. I paint her Blue Forehead, O check, molt
