1994 M. Stanback M. Formicivorus 3 MurF (17 May) so much as the Foot itself. 3 of the toes emerged out of the mass, one toe had a tumor of it's own (r was split down the middle). We removed all the bands x cut off the entire tumor (which was more of a shell around a skinless Foot). We put on neosporin and gave him a makeshift bandage. I lapped him as well. He flew off OK. I left the bandage on. Good luck birdie (see picture below) 19 May 1100 Eggs 2-4 hatched, 5 pipping, 6 looking good, egg 1 looking rotten 20 May 1700 Egg 6 still not pipped. Watt opens - baby is alive but still has a yolk sac. [illegible] 25 May Unfortunately, ♂ 1954 died 2 days after being captured. Today I measured testis = 8 mm x 5 mm.
