We received the binoculars the,first of this week and the 400 chick 
leg markers today. Thanks very much. I'll send the broken ones to you 
as soon as possible. I talked to Dr. Ely last night, via the ham set. 
We needed some hardware cloth to "coreal" the Sooty chicks for banding 
during the day. We now have permission to use metal in the antenna field 
area. It's the new officers here on Sand*
