11 May 1700 RW=11.5, LL=12, LLB=5.8, r=5.9, RL=12.3
LW=9. I dropped my pen so I was unable to
Freshen the paint on some (most) of the babies.
14 May Roosting in nest tree (downhill?) and in a snaggy
tree E to W
15 May 1225 I checked the snaggy tree r Found no holes.
I think the "downhill" hole in the nest tree is
actually in the middle of the tree, Facing E.
Even as I stand here, crows are hanging on the granary
pulling out dog food.
18 May 0850-1150 Nest ambush! Caught 1966, put in T
(2 tubes) I hope it stays in. When 1962 went in
I pulled r it got stuck on back right by the hole.
1962 flushed out, but 1613 went right in! Crows
+ Cooper's hawk harassed the ACW's all morning
1962 Finally went in (see cap rec) + we put in
2 empty tubes. 1966 = purple, 1962 = green.
