18 Apr 0630-0735 Set net at Feeder. No takers
(except For the scrub jay (NOBA) that (caught)
Saw several visits to syc hole.
27 Apr Walt reports 4 incubated eggs in sycamore hole.
2 May 1000 Well, I guess they weren't that incubated - I
climbed v none hatched. Also, since Eric
couldn't see the hole when he tried a watch this
a.m., I went ahead r cut off the offending limb.
5 May 1100 RL=9.5, LW=9.5, RW=8.8, LL=7.4
11 May 0715 RL=Y=35.5, LW=K=2?, RW=R=31.2, LL=Mv=29
22 May Roost watch ravine hole: 3 birds in! Remembering
that last year I waited a day r they didn't
return, I decide to pole ambush tomorrow.
22 May Ambush! Worked like a charm! Unfortunately, I
caught only 1 HF (whom I implanted w T: there
won't really be a control, but since she wasn't caught
at the nest, I'll rationalize). Also caught BF +
silver crown 8, whom I started lapping (cut
through body wall) only to find that my oto-
scope is broken - no light!!! Damn it all. I
implant him w T (what the hell) and release.
25 May 1500 Banded 4 babies (3 big, 1 runt)
19 June 0830 Hello hole - nada.
25 June set a trap on platform, Rebecca actually, but it's a
shitty one that closes only 1/2 way sometimes (lie
when 2 woodpeckers spring it!) Will try tomorrow.
26 June 0631 Rebecca gets jaw 2240 at trap. I do sseries
(2 more Fucking ACWs escape! Fix it!).
