period) lowered his wing + after
his vocalization returned to his
feeding. It has been noted
that these birds all do a con-

around this pond. When 1st
coming to Ikroaile, the birds can
usually be located along the
edge of the pond. The same bird
which displayed toward the phalarope
(above), also was seen to chase a
Pectoral sandpiper + they do an
aerial display (at stroke 23.1). About
15 minutes later, both birds (Pect. Sand.
& the Wh. rump) were feeding side by
side with no trouble between them.

is elevated enough to allow
for a gentle slope on the east side
which extends down to the shore
of the lake. This is a grass covered
