1989 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus PIPE HNHR Dec 88 Acorn Count: 1300 20 Mar 1630 Saw 5 birds, 4 sat together (1D'd 1446). I'm going to consider it a Full census! (1446, 1447, 1595, 1596, 1597) 22 Mar 1440 Hello hole - nothing. 27 Mar 1200 Saw 1595, 1597, 1596 Hello holes - nothing. 6 Apr am Patty reports no interest in holes 13 Apr 1500, 1600 Hello - nada 15 Apr 1715, 1730 ~ ~ 17 Apr 1800 Bird in hole!! 18 Apr 1300 4 opaque eggs! Can barely reach; needs chips. 22 Apr 1030 Still eggs. Added chips to make hole shallow. 23 Apr 0900 Still eggs, but they cried when I covered the hole. 24 Apr 1200 Stole runt to put in Bian 25 Apr 0930 RW = 5.6, LW = 7.15, B = 5.2. I stole RW + B to put into Blm 1. 26 Apr 1300 The kid in there (LW) = 11.9. I stuck in 2 new kids, belly (CVI) and a Blm 1 kid (5.8). Blm 1 isn't looking good. (Has ink on head) (Lynn reports that the Feeding rate decreased after I added babies - spent more time brooding!) 27 Apr 1315 belly is alive but declining, Blm 1 gone. Pipe Kid = 16.4". I added Blm 1 RL = 15.35 28 Apr 1500 RL = 19.7 (9.3) Y / LL = LP = 18.5 (8.95) 2 May 0930 Y = 36.9 (12.2) / P = 34.5 (12.6) 6 May 1600 Y = 63.5 (15.3) 4.2, 5.5 / P = 68.5 (16.05) 7, 8 Also stuck in K From BKOK. 13 May 0730 Y 71 19.25 20.2 35 14 24 62 w tipped wing - tail
