Four birds were seen just
south of Voth's area near the
creek that drains Voth's Slough.
They appeared to be feeding +
were seen there in the morning,
and evenings by Lowell Douglas.
During the evening, they were
noted prancing about with very
bald raima + on were seen to
chose another with the wings
half-spread. After watcher
them for several minutes,
we approached within 50 yards
before they flew.
