Calioris pusillus
11 June
One seen at S. end of drum area.
13 June
Several seen feeding and chasing
in drum area. Little display as yet - very
surprising, since my memory of past years
has these one of earlier displaying birds.
Last year had 2 completed semi-pal
nests on 11 June.
14 June
Nothing in Holmes' Marass.
16 June
2 seen feeding along pond edge between
Brant Pt. and Woldslag Slough. No display
seen or heard.
19 June
More abundant in Voith area than
any other area yet found - seconds to
red-backs there. Very brief bursts of
display - no more. 2 collected after
feeding observation - #098. Another bird
also collected feeding in same habitat -
not directly observed.
21 June
Three pairs encountered in ANCS -
micro-ner marbles, plus one stray bird
who was made to feel unwelcome. Semi-pal
pairs were pecking along pond edges,
staying close.
24 June
Same three pairs observed - still see
both birds together. Aerial and ground
display seen. Birds frequently stop
while feeding to call, then resume
feeding.
