lison 49 Fulica americana -62- July 12 Jewel Lake, Tilden Park Contra Costa Co., Calif. Zeiss 8x glasses loaned to me, every Tag on all the birds in sight - the furtherest having been G/B (the most difficult) at G/5. 12.] Now all tho immatures + S adults seem to be ni F+G8. there are at least 10 birds visible there at the moment. G/B + G/S, both of N Wood look very much like adults today except for the dull bill - the head color is fully as dark as that of an adult. Side by side with an adult - I guess G/B is not so a adult looking at all - The general body color + proportions are those of an adult but the head is still much too light. And G/5 looks even less like an adult. The birds still with the light gray on their balds are G/S, G, R/B just a little. R is much like G/B, two + two + the unmasked birds. Obviously immature but with dark head are 2 unmarked birds Y. Just now G/B just chased Y a few feet in area G/7.3. I have seen no signs of antagonism canued by the presence of dangles as yet - nor have I seen any evident attempts to remove them by either pecking at them or by scratching at them with their feet. - At 5:30 pm. B crossed from K28 to L25 with four of her new brood - they are very colorful around the head but apparently have lost all the plumages from the body - instead there appears to be.
