CVI
20 May Have not to do a nest ambush. Arrive at 0830 to
Find ambusher sprung and babies quiet. I climb r
Find them stone cold + barely alive. I succeed in
warming them back to life, give each a syringe of
baby Food, and put them back into the nest, into
the blind at 0830. At 0930 as I prepare to give
up, a bird goes into the nest for @ 2 min. Others
show interest but are afraid. Birds stop showing
interest @ 0950. At 1000 B9 into hole for @ 5
min. I'm sure the kids are pretty chilled again.
A male came w insects but wimped out, another with
acorns x wimped.
1200 Returned w hot baby bottle and a hand warmer -
they needed it - were chilled again. I warmed em for
a bit in the baby box, then put the warmer in
the nest + crossed my fingers. I fear that as a
last resort I must Foster the Gazo kids into here.
And I do it. I Fill 'em full of baby Food r put them
in at 1700 (The CVI kids get put in Gazo with
the Gazo runt). I watch roosting at CVI v
arrive to Find all CVI adults busy Feeding the
noisy Gazo kids. Phew!
21 May 1500 CVI Kids back to CVI Gazo back to Gazo.
I Feed CVI some baby Food first. No wts just moving.
29 May 1500 Bowl kids. Add M. Lewis (blue).
15 June 0900-1000 Watched for juv interactions. Now. Saw M. Lewis
