See C. pusillus 4 July The 3 still near the Black-belly nest by the centre plot, scolding when I get in this area but not co-operative in nest finding at all. They are feeding on the peels a little, bred one brick spent some time out in the wrinkle. One feeding near a Caribou carcass on South Ridge. 5 July 3 seen flying over a Carry area near the dunes at the S-bows of Do Places in the evening. 8 July One of the birds near the Black belly nest came out to scold near the N end of the Curricularia plot and followed me nearly to the centre plot across the lake.
