There's also the hole onto the limb on the backside of the granary. nada 9 Apr 1400-1430 Spy From Buck side of gully. On arrival 2 birds left a dying tree on this side at the edge of the gully. No holes tho. Where are the birds. 1445 Check low traditional hole: 2 eggs! a runt- a bigger one. Yippee. 1530 Set up blind. Numbered egg #1 Roost watch: no one into hole 10 Apr 1730 Numbered egg #2, removed runt. So there's only one Female laying here, tho 2 are present. 11 Apr 1230: 2 new eggs laid-removed both (am nest watch) 12 Apr 1230: " Roost watch 412: 1 bird into hole " a little more active 13 Apr 0900 " " -removed both. Though they were slightly warm, I put them in the Fridge. Thus Chgo incubation begins today. 14 Apr 1200 Only 1 new egg (#T) Bird in hole. Removed blind #1 24.05 x 18.1 (5.2) #2 23 x 18.95 (5.5) #T 23.4 x 20.0 (6.22) 18 Apr 1800 Put up a mealworm Feeder on the trunk. None in hole 19 Apr 1615 No one has touched the mealworms. Bird Flush? 22 Apr 1700 Egg #2 is dead. Only 1 or T OR. Bird in hole. Mealworms not touched.

Why? Easiest answer- weather. But maybe it was the sudden appearance of babies (though my experience says this shouldn't matter). Sorry guys. Now, where will they re nest? Oh, by the way, no one ever touched the mealworms, even as babies starved. 26 Apr 0700 I saved their heads For tissue samples (they've been in the Fridge) 1 May pm 2 birds Flush From the "new" hole above or on the downhill side. I return later w equipment to Find ... an incomplete hole. Meal- worms are still alive, and have not been touched. 5 May 1000 Bird Flushed From back hole, but I stick a runt egg into the First hole anyway, Mealworms still alive, well, and untouched. 14 May 1130 Runt egg still in lower hole. Top hole has 7 opaque eggs! Cut door. Mealworms still there. Was it a bad peep on 1 May? There is sort of a dog-leg. 16 May 1130 Should've known - hatched yesterday (but 2-2day). 1 egg unhatched + dead looking - removed.

1991 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus (9 July) Upon my arrival here today, a ♂ (?) Cooper's hawk was rumaging near a Brewer's blackbird nest, presumably looking for goodies. He hopped around in the vegetation, with the ♂ Brewer's scolding from a distance. Getting impatient, I flushed him and out he flew with a chick (I presume it was a Bbb chick). Anyway I start my watch. After an hour and only one baby ID, I quit. As I begin to walk away (got about 10 Feet), I hear an ACW scream, a baby, From the valley oak uphill by the Fence From the barn (where I had been watching - having heard a baby in there) A Cooper's hawk! The adult ACW's karrilled where they were (nest tree, givanny) but did not go in to mob the COHA. So I did. He flushed with the baby still screaming intermittently. It must have been a burden (i.e. a ♂ COHA) because he descended to the ground while Flapping. My chasing didn't make him drop the baby (though I never got very close) I should've yelled loudly but I forgot to (in shock) He finally disappeared with the baby clown toward the pump, flying low and labored the whole time. I later learned that Danny found the GYG baby( ) (no paint?) on the

Thus egg tossing. 22 Apr 0500 start watch. @ 0600 a bunch of birds come to hole r go in (4). Eventually 3 88 come out (8 P& not let in). Finally 9 out. Immediately 9 KO () arrives - I chase her away r climb. A runt egg. I replace it w a dead normal egg (I'm not sure why I did). Anyway, in the next hour 9 MKO () looked in twice (ie 2 visits) and 9 KO () landed once, but didn't look in. At 0823, all 3 9 and several 88 landed. KO () + MKO () went in. DD () didn't. After @ 1 min a 9 came out with the egg in her bill, followed by 2 88. The other 9 stayed in @ 30 sec more, then appeared and left. I climbed - empty.

They were pretty Freaked out, but after about 1 hr they started brooding (but no feeding that I could tell) They were still arguing @ something & mostly unattentive. At 0835 I checked the kids - no blood, no pecks. At 0930 I fed the chicks some baby food. Also Found the bodies of the KOUT kids. Got liver tissue (see KOUT notes for details.) what a shitty day. 18 May Filmed this am. At 1730 I put in a KOUT kid and took out an aviary kid - they didn't mind. At 1800 I put in the other KOUT kid & took out the other aviary kid. They didn't seem to mind too much (ie curious non-feeding visits, wakas or drumming) but they were feeding them when I left at 1900. 19 May 0500 checked - KOUT kids dead (cold). Got aviary kids from incubator & put them in. 0700 Checked - aviary kids cold & approaching death. I removed them to incubator (where they recoupenated) KOUT kids = T16 + T17.

They pick at the stitches, as the skin dries r scabs it can be picked off, leaving the tube exposed.

(am mealworms) acorns 1630 Begin the grand experiment. I took an old egg, cleaned it out, Filled w chicken albumin, sealed both ends, took to aviary, drilled a hole in the side of the egg, stuck in a thermocouple (this was done at the cavity - a potential problem - the silicon really didn't have a chance to dry) -> and put it in the cavity. The birds had drilled clear to the bottom, so I didn't have to make a tunnel. I sealed the tunnel w silicon (bad idea - need to redo w DAP or tape) I put the egg, in a drawer in the new lab. Before this manipulation Roger and the 7 high thermocouples did a 2+ hr watch here. I more canister mealworms in pm 13 May 0800 New egg and thermocouple came out of old egg, I disconnect tc and take it to the lab, where I implant it into yesterday's egg - this time with lots of silicon seal. Put in drying oven at 100°F at 0900. Gave birds their am mealworms at 0800. 1400 Removed the chicken egg. 1600-1630 Put in tc egg. Online at 1630. TC egg is warm
