Logopus logopus
One of there appeared to be an adult
male Logopus in spring breeding
plumage. Each shell was characterized
by complete detachment of all feathers
except a few primaries - scattered out
over ground a couple meters or so
and by the lack of any legg venarins
except fragments of wing bones and
breast. Characteristic of fox kills.
September Mlede River - Coal Mine - the venarins
of an adult male was found near
ARL wannigan - 100 yds S. The
venarins consisted by only of plucked
feathers - somewhat broken up (chevel?)
and the guts, which were in a separate
pile. Fox kill? The flight feathers
were mostly still incompletely developed
with soft, blood-filled grills.
September Mlede River Coalmine - A flock of 8
adults was flushed on upland ground
midway between village and the area
of T708. White wings, tail, cheeks &
neck - rest of body a tail in summer plumage.
8 September Mlede River - a flock of 22-23 adults -
all believed to be males - was seen
on the upland knoll immediately west
of the airstrip. All in mottled plumage.
