Cade 1959 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.
