Here were 58s and 24s in one group and
at least 37s and 68s than the other. Saw

tufts of Poa, but seem to prefer areas where
this is much exposed moss between grass
rifts.
29 May. There were fewer birds flying about and
possibly a few individuals have left, but
basically not much change from yesterday.
Mostly 3s, in flocks of 3 to 12 birds, and
feeding in sandy areas where much soil exposed
for the most part, but some are now moving out
to the poor polygon ridges - grown to Carex
and Poa, which are now becoming exposed.
Very little song, and no flight song.

move out into the exposed bunches of grass in the
lower areas inland from the river. Flight song
and 37 chases seen regularly all day long.
but the flocks are still evident, although now looser

and feeding actively along the Meade's SW of camp,
after about 10:45 PM almost all activity stopped
