Nest check - #1,3,4,7,18 - had abird incubating,
#5 did not (#4 was off for awhile (~5m)) -
but returned while I was watching
her. New Nest found by Maclean - 2
soulsly 1 the ridgy next to the gasoline -
almost to the polygonal area toward gadius
ridge. - 4 eggs.
#11 - gave ground displays to the
females for nests 4 & 7 within a 5 minute
period. In our case - as in all ground
displays, no or woolde de this for about
5 to 15 sec - then, bring wings into body
and tail still cocked - then put tail with
normal posit, turn + run off - #4 keeps
on feeding. In our case today - when Mr.
C brought his sweep with deer from the
horizontal position - he kept the holder but
away from horizontal body &
the wrist was held horizontal - so that it
[illegible] appeared as if the bird had
Two "shelves" on each side
extending beyond the cocked tail. Head was
forward but slightly above the horizontal -
The song was given continuously.
I have yet to see any stepping. (The feet
as was described by Drury - the breast
walls regulating a farther body slightly from
side to side.
