Maclean 1968 C. melanotos June In the morning a tight flock of about 35 birds - mostly ♂ but a few ♀ - settled in the drum area by the second cobra pole. They sat quietly for several minutes, then began to move out feeding. Saw no interactions between birds - I think this was a flock still moving westward. They left before I could return with a shotgun car. 5 minutes later. Next saw several birds feeding on and around Skroawik plot - even tho this was mostly snow covered. By the gaswell - 25 to 30 birds feeding actively. Collected a ♂ and a ♀ from this group. Saw no obviously breeding-related behavior. One ♂ looked like he might have been 7 June Still a large group by the gaswell - very fluid, so it was hard to count, but at least 20. Collected a ♂ and a ♀; flock still more ♂ than ♀.
