Not up a ridge, over [illegible] antenne - walked into up, stood, sat, scoured s.s. s.s. - set and failed vertical & did a half rotation - pecked at adjacent vegetation - perhaps picking it + dragging it and cap - but I'm can not actually see. - Stopped out - picked + dragged 4-5x - On left side + 4+ turn - N. right - De went a far s.s. sequence n. e.c.d sid + Doe he mind of feeding. My feeling is that it is not as formalized as in [illegible] - like a pure [illegible] Number today probably about the same as before - but birds seem to be settling down - + there seems less choosing than in preceding days. It generally seemed scarce - after afternoon - I saw - one observed on the white-rigged peak 1/2 ridge do not - no? did a courtship ground display - let me & spend no effort fleets on feeding - No or quit off 45 sec t. This was the only ground courtship seen today - this also seem scarce, maybe other pair here next? N.-e. gol. e.
