Holmes, R. 1961 Erolia ageris 6. 8 June Barnow, Hoster his wings held at a 45° above the horizontal & with tail slightly raised (n ~200, ...). He would then follow behind the & for several feet + on 3 out 14 case, she turned and attacked him by throttle herself in his direction. The & would break away occasionally to chase a neighbouring & and would aerial display upon her return + then would chase the &. After about 15 min. This riff-raff, one bird (&) disappeared + only the & was left. He continued to display + feed. After another 15 minutes or so, he walked toward the weasel + sat in a nest depression about 6' away. He nestled in, as if to 'round' out the nest. He then acted disturbed + finally walked away + took flight. I then moved the weasel 50' + checker the site. It was a cup about 1½ - 2" depth, with well-packed sod. There was only a few pieces of dead vegetation on the floor, while some lined the sides of the cavity. Upon return to the weasel, I watching, a pair Lenniopus cans I began to make a nest in the same site. So it should be interesting to see what will occur. [illegible] semi-pal RB - same site
