Display leans there and by corner of Beach Ridge. 1 July Found nest w/ 4 eggs ca. 50 m S. of Jamesway Hut as end of Drum area. Another pair by fork in gasline to Pow site refused to divulge location of nest. Smart - - birds. 2 July Checked for nest of stubborn pair - could flush no birds in area. Could have been from nest ca. 100 m. away. 4 July Found nest w/ 4 eggs ca. 150 m. W of C + GS, on E edge of drainage cut across Beach Ridge. 7 July Ca. 4 birds feeding along edge of upper Voth Creek - obviously non-breeding. Collected observations, but no birds. We now have a total of 21 nests. Paul is working diligently and well on these. They are definitely more numerous than last year - quite abundant in local collections, but scattered over suitable dry resting sites.
