2 Apr Lots of acorus stored all over gran tree. Hello
holes - nada.
18 Apr Hello - nada.
2 May 1130 4 Fresh eggs in burn snag. Low hole Facing
ARSW. I didn't cut it open (rush). J Found it.
10 May 0630 Put the 3 biggest Ravi kids in here to replace
the 4 dead eggs I took out.
15 May 1019 Yow-ee - Zowee! I came up to do a Ravi-Kout-
ate baby switch & low & behold there's a bird
in the hole. Unfortunately, it wasn't the NOBA 9.
A banded 8. I do the baby switch, stash the
ladder & hop on the 4 wheeler at 1015. By
1030 I've done the bleed - at the lab. That
must've been a land speed record. I then
lap him, but don't see shit. Oh well, reband
him. This is 1340, an A1 breeder (the
younger of 2) What is going on here, Jeremy
drives back up & releases him. So now
this nest has 4 kids (the entire Ravi nest
minus the big kid, who will sit in Ravi until
he goes into Gate to replace the sawed kid.
22 May 0630 Set & ready. After about 1.5 hrs I get
NOBA 9 afterwards I decide to try For a BM,
who I catch, take down to the lab after 2 bleeds,
lap (4 Fov) - Timplant. I process blood, then release
26 May Caught BM 2165 at Al ambush! Lap wound didn't look good.
