1994 M. Stanback M. formicivorus CVGR HNHR 17 Apr Set ambush at 94 nest r watch. Lots birds in (very late like 1910). Keep fingers crossed. 18 Apr Ambush! 5 birds (BF, HM, 3 BM) After debate, we keep the non-tossing young BM For removal exp. HM back to lab For lap (crappy lap - couldn't see much of anything). See cap recs. Well bloody Fucking hell! There's a bleeding power struggle going on here r no one could be bothered to tell me til mid-afternoon! Joey + I arrive @ 1430 r set net. Things are still hopping r we slowly start catching birds (2081 the HF From MPHF that was ambushed the other day, the BM here, r, eventually, 3 NOBA 99's. What's going on here is beyond me. The BF is semi- tolerating semi-fighting these birds. The only real chases are when a bird flies in From the periphery. See Joey's notes for who showed up this morning. We finally quit at 1800. ) Finish blood work at 2130 19 Apr Ginger tells me that the dozen pieces of dog Food accidentally left on the platform has ruined all her data (as it brought in several unbounded pies). Maybe so. Sorry. 0630 Nets set r ready. We had a NOBA 9, the pink BF, BB 1616. Still plenty 'o' action. The MPHF #2081 has settled in, apparently an uneasy truce w pink 9 (just like last year - these 2 go way back) By 0900 things are settling down a bit - rather, it's just the "core grp"
