29 Apr 0800 I hello the new road hole (Watt showed me where
it is) - nothing.
3 May 1700 Climb 88 b - empty but chips
5 May 1220 - 1240 Spy, at end 2 birds flew in tandem
to 88 b tree (to area of hole)
11 May 1600 5 freshish eggs! (not particularly warm, but it's
cold out)
20 May Ratti reports incub (am or pm
21 May "
feeding
22 May 1845 RL = 15.1 / LL = 10.3 / RW = 14.5 / r = 4.5 . well
damn, now I don't know if a 5th egg hatched. They
usually don't start tossing this soon, but a late
hatcher should still be alive. It may have died tho...
I'll see how the runt's doing at noon on 23 May. If
death, I may gamble the other went too. 15g ? Are
you sure it was incub on 20 May ?
23 May 1245 RL = 16 / LL = 12 / RW = 15.6 / r = 4.5 (though I
measured him w the 10g pesola - he was 4.75) I removed
the runt to CV2 (+ fed him a .6 g cricket). I also
gave LL a .6 g cricket after weighing him. I added
LW From Gazo (was -) weighing 19g.
Bad news.. CV2 failed, so nowhere to stick runt. I
decided to keep him overnight + Fatten him - he
needs help. However, he didn't make it through the
night. He's now tissue sample Tzo
24 May 1815 RL = R = 24 (8.55) / RW: DA = 22 (9.35) / LL = Mr = 16.8
LW = DB = 28.7. Added in LB or "-" from group David.
