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"
