11 June) eggs are about to be laid in Britton's
area.
12 June I believe, from the birds' behavior,
their eggs have been laid. A couple of
birds popped up in such a way as to make
me look carefully for a nest, but found
none.
14 June Display has just about dropped to
cero. Some 87, when flushed, give
brief motor-boats, but not much
from these, otherwise.
19 June Collected pusilla nest #1 + 2 adults:
SM 1055 and 1056. First 3 eggs weigh
7.8, 7.9, 7.4 grams (cannot tell order). 4th
egg weighs 7.9 g.. All eggs wrapped in
aluminum foil and packed in cotton, then
frozen. The adults weighed 28.8 and 29.4q.
The nest was found by U. Safriel in the
do village cemetery. It has 3 eggs at 2:30
P.M.; 4 eggs at 10:30 P.M., when it was
collected. Adults not attentive at that
time. The birds were a pair-banded
as a pair last year - yellow over pink
on the right leg.
Found 3 4-egg nests today: 1 in
the do cemetery, 1 south of South Salt
Lagoon, 1 in the drum area, west of pole
7.4.
