19 Apr I got the sample at 10 minutes and another
20 minutes after that. At this point (30
min after capture) I heard a garrick From one
of the 88. Another garrick was heard (again
From the nest tree) 10 minutes later. (Since
birds were hanging out near the nest, I
reset the ambusher after the First bleed, but
no luck. Looking at the 99 swollen cloaca,
I realize that the specimen From RANA probably
had not laid an egg that day, whereas this
9 had. So... even though she was From
Buckeye, she had dispersed off the study area,
and was .. Fair game. I collected her for
sperm storage analysis at 0855. I opened
her up (without looking inside) and put her in
formalin. I had removed her eggs and replaced
them w 2 dead eggs From the Fridge.
Her eggs measured (order not known for 1+2)
1: 23.8 x 18.1, 2: 23.75 x 17.6, 3: 24.65 x
17.35. These are small eggs... From a
small 9. Another cost of asynchrony!!
I will put them in the aviary
1100 Arrive to set nets - dead quiet. Put up nets
or play tape or immediately catch 2085 (BM) See
cap recs. Soon afterwards we got a NOBA 9
(the 1st participant) Stress series banded. Let
her go or immediately regretted it. She'll probably
