1993 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus MPHE 5 Apr 1810 2 birds in 92 nest hole! 6 Apr 1715 No one in hole - I climb + check. Nice new chips, 22 Apr 1045 Walt found 4 eggs in 92 hole yesterday. I marked #5 today. Need to measure them (compare omega vs others) 26 Apr 1500 1 = 24.8 x 20.15, 2 = 23.55 x 19.55, 3 = 24.5 x 20, 4 = 24.7 x 20.15, 5 = 25.1 x 19.8 Remember, 1-4 are not in order 4 May 1100 LW = 12.0, RL = 11.4, RW = 8.6. Egg 4 dead with a hole in it (recent) + yolky gunk. Another egg had a hole in it + was dry inside (hole apparently right where #was). My, my. They hatched earlier than they should've. (#3 hatched) 1530 FUCKING A. Veronica says "oh by the way, hardly anyone showed up at the watch because you left a piece of webbing (red)." Fuck. Yep, I screwed up in a big way, but she should've known to either get it or come get me!!! I removed it (+ heard a baby). Bird in hole on arrival. 6 May 0830 I guess the only harm was that Veronica wasted 3 hrs. LW = 18.3 = DB, RL = 17.3 = W, RW = 12.9 11 May Roast watch - some birds into nesting hole in next tree 12 May Set ambush. Birds in (stopped counting at 4) 13 May Ambush! 6 birds (4 BB, 2 BF). Released 94 in Field. BB to lab for laps, implants. One was a BN who barely shows up. See if he's subordinate. See cap recs. 24 May 1300 Band 3 chicks.
