Alopecy logopus
23 June - cont.
a square yard of ground. Photo taken.
At 1930 Brock and I saw a different
individual between T9010 e T122.
He was hunting in a polygon area-
quarterming back and forth, stopping now
and again to investigate something. He
covered a lot of ground systematically
and quickly. For a while we watched
in the weasel from about 100 yds.
We saw him stop and eat something.
I lined him up with a post on
the horizon and drove straight for
the spot. He finished eating and moved
off unconcerned before we arrived, but
a little searching in the area revealed
a freshly broken and eaten shoveldril
egg, still lying in the scoop. A pair
of excited turnstones were flying about
us, and since the nest was on a site typical
of that used by turnstones, we are
sure it was their nest which the
fox molested. This fox was nearly
all white yet with just lots of few
shedding on his right haunch.
