The day started slightly overcast and the
morning were quite active. During a watch
at TCJ5 (which abuts TCJ2, a removal
site), I recorded males YGR and YPB (DMs)
spending a fair amount of time at TCJ2,
with some duet singing and even a dance
in the presence of female R-(G). The female
was not on the dance perch, but was clearly
interested and sat on a branch about a foot
above the perch, watching. This dance was on
the standard TCJ2 perch which we monitored
earlier with the video camera. During this time,
AWA (DM), former B at TCJ2, was duetting with
the alpha BAA (DM) at SBE2, where Julie was doing
a watch. AWA seems to be giving up any claim
on the a position at TCJ2 in order to
be p at SBE2. Maybe he just didn't have or
couldn't find a beta for TCJ2?
BWG was seen again at CCL5 (the last of
removal site) and seems to be slowly taking
over that area.
I found a nest with eggs right by the
rocks in the middle of the first beach, and when
I flushed the female (with difficulty) it turned
out to be SOB, a chick from 2001 from a nest
out in the MAN area. If the eggs don't hatch by 5/13, I'll
collect one.
