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.
