- our nesting population is not controlled
in the same way by temperature tolerance
of the young. A study of comparative temp [temperature]
tolerance of yng [young] waterfowl would be most
interesting. The sea-nesting eider may be very
well up in the series.
Another biologist has been working
on the summer food of Buteo buteo. He
has spent 350 hrs [hours] observation at nest sites
from blinds + finds that the food residue
at the nest is an unreliable source of
evidence as it has little relation with
the food actually brought to the nest.
During good mouse years Clethrionomys
was the major item, a few of the very
young (mouse stage) gallinaceous birds + perhaps
2 or 3 hares per summer. During low mouse
years Sorex becomes important. Only the
[male symbol] hunts + he brings in food about once
an hour making 12 or 13 trips a day.
The Research foundation gets a govt [government] grant
of about 25000 (7 1/2 million marks) a year + has
some endowment funds also. It operates
the Evo Station, which is a gift from one
of the founders. It has about 2000 acres of
its own + game rights on a surrounding
state forest of 6000 acres [word crossed out] hectares. They have no
