1989 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus 1800 HNHR 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.
