Mackee 1966 Arenaria interprets 2 June Again - the first shorebird to be seen. Heard several by dump on road into town, then saw one flying very actively over shoreline. 6 June Pair localized in Voth Area - some chasing with "frog-note", but mostly quiet. 7 June Pair in area just South of Cake Ester. Flew with flock of red-backs and gave "frog-note". 8 June Pair in Britton's Area - jumpy, as usual. Displayed a little. One bird across from FAA, by Honey bucket Lagoon, and a pair by Cake-Ester. These, at least, are here in pair numbers. Wonder where they are eating. [A few turnstones are doomed!] 9 June Pair still localized by cake Ester. Pair on ridge by West shore of Footprint lake. Not closely tied down to territory - flew with flock of red backs over large area. 10 June Two pairs along Elson Lagoon. One pair chased away adjacent 07. Niko located nest with two eggs - probably this pair. Eggs large, pointed, very green with little spotting - Evening - along Browerville Ridge,
