Birds are still fairly abundant

nearly absent elsewhere. Karl has
found only 2 nests in the Drum area,
but there are more, and other pairs
appear to be still laying.
Saw more pairs near Beck
Construction Camp, but no others along
bluffs SW of Village, down to Nunivac
Slough.
22 June

area by laying the insect net next

nest near the water line. These should

23 June
Found a 4-egg nest just west of
the gas line and South of the one found
yesterday. Encountered 2 pairs along
the SE side of Honey bucket lagoon where
