1993 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus CVL HNHR 15 Mar 1100 Saw 3 birds here. Gave dog Food. Thift (saw 1911 from CV2 at Mill tree. 2 Apr 1500 Hello sycamore hole - nada 5 Apr 0835 " 9 Apr 1230 Acting on a tip From Veronica, I check the traditional hole - 5 eggs (not too Fresh?) 16 Apr 0955 Bird in hole.. checked... still 5 eggs. 18 Apr 1345 " , put ear to it - nothing 20 Apr 1430 Well, I guess I'm a little rusty on egg Freshness (then again, it was a peep). Anyway I hatched (RL - didn't weigh - windy), 1 pip-hatch 2 pipped, 1 sans pip. A place for RAVI kids? 22 Apr 1000 RL = 8.3, LL = 8.9, RW = 7.8, LW = 7.3, B = 5.4 26 Apr 1400 RL = 21.4 (LB), LL = 21.8 (MV), RW = 22.5 (W). LW = 20.4 (O), B = 15.0 29 Apr 0715 Set r ready. A bird goes in even before I'm ready in the blind. It stays in r eats ants, which are kind of bad. BM hesitates/visits, u finally goes in. Mystery & out. BM out, 2170 in. Nab at 0745. But in the meantime, elate ants have emerged. The lower trunk is one mass of ants. I climb through and am engulfed. I get the bird out, go down through the ants again. Bleed bird while ants bite me all over. Back to lab For stress series, lap, v T implant. Maximum data I hope I don't end up regretting it. Release bird later (Few ants near hole - good). Hope no Fail.
