Evolia melanotos
1 June Peters-Schroder.- Seen commonly
all along Cannivone Creek for 2 1/2
miles deep stream - mostly in the
wet meadows of the fort rail -
seen in pairs and in loose groups of
6 to 12. Three separate males
were seen in flight display with
mates and giving the "cat" "dot"
call. One of these was collected. Most
of the birds appeared to be two cents
moving north, across the valley, but
that is habitat for breeding. It
will be interesting to see if some
stay to breed. Upwards of 20 birds
seen in all.
3 June Peters-Schroder Lakes - two or three
pairs were seen in the low center
polygon area of the large fan on
the SE side of Schroder. Several were
also seen in wet meadows or stream
feeds along the lower reach of Whistler
Creek.
4 June Peters-Schroder - none seen anywhere
along Cannivone Creek today.
15 June Peters-Schroder.- some seen in
flats between the lights or on the fan
or north side of Schroder.
