C. melanostris
25 June
Not a bird in Drum area. In
aacs marsh saw 2 PP feeding
Together. One was bothered by
hyper-aggressive O7 Sandering.
Continued together without sign of O7
for 20 minutes - obviously not nesting.
In the afternoon saw probably the
same 2PP 150 m. SE of about spot
sleeping in grass. Would like to
collect a few of these to see if their
gonads are as far down as their
behavior.
In the evening went out to do
just that without much success.
Saw 2 O7 O7 just S. of Voth Creek, one
of which even booted twice, but
could not find any more along
Gasline Road to footprint lakes, then
in good marsh East of lake, then
up lake bed. Discouraging. Back
by Voth Creek classes are - probably
one of those seen earlier - unsuccessfully.
26 June
Drove same route as last night.
No birds seen in walking West of Road near
Footprint lake. Finally found a lone O7
on Terrace of lake East of road. He
flew over marsh to East. Following
him and next found him sitting quietly
