Starcovarius parvusitriens
8 June cont-
The similarity of this behavior to what
I had previously seen led me to
expect that an intruder was present.
I did not see one immediately, but
about a minute later three block
levels flew past me. The two on the
ice were gone, so I take it that
the pair was chasing a single
in twyder. The levels fell flew
south towards Peters,
Both pairs appear to be established
in exactly the same areas where
Wolfie saw them last year, as
Maher predicted. However, last
year the pair by Whistler & was
mixed, mated of both being block
as this year.
3 June Peters - Schrader - located the nest
of block pair between the lakes -
on the NW section of the flats - opposite
Mc Coffin's cabin - west of Whistler Cr-
mouth - 100 yds inland from Lake
Schrader - nest a depression surrounded
by peat chunks on a damp moss-sedge-
dense willow mat - Parents first gave
"meowh" call and dived at me - later when
that failed both gave distraction display.
