4 May 0600 big = 28.5 (10.9) r = 3.95 (thoug I gave him
about 1 g of Food afterward.
1645 35.3 r = 4.85 (no Food)
5 May 1600 39.5 (13) 6.6 but they're having
a power struggle, so I took out the runt to aviary?
15 May 0930 81 19.6 16.5 19.1 13.5 17.5 47
22 May 0800 92.6 23.3 28 59 26 43 87
Tried to figure out who the 38 are here - didn't
have much luck - the most likely candidates are
OKCO 1636, 1641, r (maybe?) 1532. But we
need to ambush PHF + census OKCO.
18 June 1500-1530 Census: 9 MW = , [illegible] Mv/K-LB
= , 3 D4/W-LB, I noticed them going to
the 85 tree suspiciously (r with Food) (checked-
but could hear no kids. After census I went to
the 89 tree + heard new babies! I went
back to Hastings for equipment, returned, r cut
open this new W Facing hole. Hatched yesterday
1600 RL = 7.3, LH = 4.55, RW = 6.9. 1 unhatched
egg (looks Fertile). nice timing! However, as I
was leaving I saw a bird in a new hole in
the 85 tree and heard babies (10d?). What's
up? 2 groups? Set a blind at 89 tree
and will set one at 85 tree or watch tomorrow
19 Jun 1300 All dead by ants. RL died minutes ago in the incubator
RL = 7.0 / RW = 6.6 / LH = 3.99 / r = 2.99. Liver samples, also
Formaliu samples. Well damn. What a waste. I was
