Next Don and I drove out to
the nest with 3 eggs new traplines
III A - III B. Tried hardware cloth strips
with monofilament loops. The birds
went over them, but did not get
catched. Next staked down 3 corners
of a mist net over the nest, waited
for the bird to sit,
then through the
net over the nest. Success -
catched a bird - probably the α7. Fed
it and prepared it for the trip to
Fairbanks.
A flock is still in the area between
AACS and the Beach Ridge crossing.
