Squatarola squatarola 26 June Coal Mine-Meade River - one was seen about 1/2 mi S of the ARL swamigan today. It did not appear attached to any given area. 29 June A pair was seen on "bavens" type ground by the long lake across the river and just opposite to the village. They flew around me and acted solicitous as though a nest or young were present, but I could find neither. 30 June - Three pairs were seen on the bavens along the high bank on the left limit of the river below the village. This seems to be the habitat with which they are most often associated. September Meade River - Coalmine - a bird in winter plumage was seen foraging along the edge of the river in a mud flat directly across from the mine. September Meade River - See general account of this date.
