11 Apr 0800 Caught 1575 For control implant. See cap rec.
12 Apr 0833 " 1573 For T implant. " "
Oh yes, Eric watched roosting last nite (11Ap) + 1575 went in
Actually, 2 birds were in, he flushed em, + 1575 retained
20 Apr 1030 Banded 3 Fat + sassy babies. See cap recs.
10 May 1230 New Nest !! 5 incubated eggs in new hole 2
down From 93 a hole (below 92 F hole).
13 May 1400 Cut open nest. RL: 8.8, LL: 4.3, RW: 7.0, LW: 3.6
B = 9.0 (LL was 1 day dd and hungry, but I left
him in, LW hatched 2 day + looked mostly OK, but
still living off yolk, so I took him - he's a goner.
Put him into Wolf. -> no, he's to be a tissue sample
17 May 1430 RL=R: 25.2 RW=W: 18.3 B=B: 23.4. No
sign of [illegible], so I feel better about offing LW. Still,
it's a pisser that Wolf Failed.
24 May 1130 Set r tie off ambusher.
1600 set blind, added in Mv/DB baby From a random
nest over at Rana Creek.
25 May 0630 Set + ready. Birds start to show after 1
hour. I wait 2 more (0930), but the 2 T birds
never show(!) though everyone else does. They are
starting to not go all the way in. (Idiot, shoulda caught bird)
26 May I assuage my guilt somewhat by catching 9 1938.
Start 0715, nab at 0822. They seldom go all the
way in. Stress series.
1 June 0900 Banded (+ stress series) the 4 kids here (3+add)
16 June 1030 Hello holes - nothing.
