Two pairs were settled near town. One
pair was particularly active, chasing
our over Village Lagoon and back onto
ridge.
11 June
M thinks there is at least three pairs
along Elean Lagoon N. of Wohlslag Slough.
In the evening - along Elean Lagoon
between Wohlslag and Wlpik Sloughs -
good activity. First collected a pair
car. 400 m. inland from lagoon. F (CSN 492)
Had 2 ruptured follicles. Near corner
of Lagoon and Wlpik Slough saw a
burst of noisy chasing involving 5
birds at once. Did not take the time
to untangle it, but it should be
worth returning if Wohlslag Slough
permits. Probably either 3 or 4 pairs
in this pocket - clumped. None seen
in North part of bare area, closer
to Wohlslag.
13 June
at least two pairs active and
noisy on Village Ridge.
14 June
Along Elean Lagoon North of
Wohlslag Slough - found 2 new
(4 egg) nests 40 m. and 150 m. South
of #1 previously found! Even at
these close distances birds remain
loosely territorial. Four birds
