Marsh. Thru 1 There were 99, all of
which had blood patches (one was
beginning to feather-out). There may
have just been adults with eggs
young but failing? - or birds with
nest failures. The 89 + 99 all
showed body molt in the various
stages. Some were just beginning;
Others were molting heavily. No
wing molt was observed. The birds
appear to be light breast color
which resulted from molting new
feathers.
