June 26 Welder Wildlife Foundation, San Patricio Co., Texas
Dick drove back to area where we collected yesterday
to try to get some specimens. Then he drove into town
to buy groceries. Back to pick me up at 0845, I decided
to stay longer & walked by each. Back by 1145. He had already
started to prepare specimens so we worked until 1300.
Had lunch & back to finish skinning. Then I went back
to watch sparrows (15:30) while Dick washed clothes &
made supper.
I worked on # across road (lot-2) from where
worked in morning. Got a little more confused + some
advance on understanding. Part of difficulty probably lie
in the presence of full grown young still with the adults.
Hard to (impossible) recognize these individuals in the field,
so some noted behavior may be between young + adult.
Wrote notes until 1830 when redcapper: Dia didn't
finished notes & to bed at 2030.
