1. Code 1959 Gress canadensis 22 May Pitmegera River - Two groups of 5 and 14 were seen about 1200 flying north toward the study area - high up. Just before they reached the study area the two groups coalesced and the birds began milling about in the air. Finally, two birds broke from the congregation and began to milling separately. After 5 to 10 minutes all the birds began moving south again and disappeared over the horizon. It began to rain shortly after that. 25 May Pitmegera - Maker seen (on the bow back of the tent at breakfast time), and later in the afternoon we saw six flying SW over the re-land at twelve back of camp.
