MacLean 1967 C. pusillus [10 June] Micro Msr. P.M. - Two displaying ♂♂ by N. end of Britton's Area. Watched 1 bird feed ♂ of F.A.A. in flooser low polygon region. 11 June two well separated pairs along Browerville Ridge - 1 ♂ displaying near old Charlie's grave, another ca. 400m. further East. 12 June Activity was up again in the Drum Area. Karl found several nests and watched long enough to sort things out - see his notes for detail. Checked Village Ridge and Cake-Eater areas in the afternoon - absolutely zero! 13 June None near Lewellyn's wire, in an area that often supports semi-pale. In the evening, just S. of F.A.A., watched a burst of activity involving at least two pairs. ♂ chased off another ♂, then gave ground display to ♀ and rose to give aerial display. Birds were in flooser low polygon area. 14 June Watched a chase of 3 birds, followed by 2 ♂♂ in aerial display, over Browerville Ridge. There are several pairs scattered along this ridge. The activity was probably initiated by 1 or more unsettled intruder. 15 June
