All BARP, clacking. the hatches at R12a & c are open now, so birds have all of R12
to themselves. Discussed with ME and decided to grab each baby to FF some tonight.
Earlier, ME said all food appeared untouched, but there were only 63 g LO that we
could see. Collected AM LO's and placed all PM food on the a/c hatch perches and
food platform.

Young GHOW found on 4/4. Rehabber attempted renesting but was unsuccessful with no sign of parents. Reportedly, bird has been eating 8-10 whole mice daily and was given fluids on intake. Received 8 mice in box overnight. Today, there were 2 mice in box on admission to CRC. Bird presented very BAR, bitey, and with NSF aside from a few flat flies. Banded, sprayed, colored, and moved to R12c for now. Bird and others in R12b were high stress when I entered, so opted to put new baby in 12c for now. Gave water and 1 whole chick.
