Fri 6.1.07

Grouse day. Aly, trap and kelly got the birds. 228 moved off to the north a little, but everyone else was in the same place. Aly and I went to check on 228 and found no nest, but piles of scat. Re-did 628 while we were there. Then we went and banded NER Powerlines (3). Geneva met us and so did trap and kelly from the north. Geneva, kelly and i checked the McBride nest. I climbed; failed. Must have failed wihtin the past week. Lots of whitewash and parents screaming while i was at the nest. central appeard to have failed, . no parents or signs of nestlings, but could have just been quiet. Nestlings still in the nest at hand of god.
