Formicivorus PHF H/NHR 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.
