Fulica americana -70-
July 16 Jewell Lake, Tilden Park, Contra Costa Co., Calif.
At 9:30a.m. Y, R|G, R|S, R, G/B, F, are
all feeding K-L 25-27. Haven't seen
either of the S adults for several days
nor a few other tagged birds - I
expect they have left the lake for
less disturbed areas.
July 19 - same locality - At 10:10a.m. when I
arrived at the lake about six birds
were resting at E-4, 19 - they were R/S, R|S,
R|S, G/P, S|S and R|S. After my arrival they
moved - some by flying - to E-G 11-12.
In that area also were Y+G. Some
moved into the cat-tails on the E side of
the lake, but most of them went into
the cover at H/12 - where they are now
feeding. Right now 10:20, G/B, R|S, B/P
are working along the edge of cover, feeding
on pond weed - they moved up about as
far as H/15 - when they turned south
and started moving fast - just then B
came splattering across and they all
splattered to F+G 11. - B stopped at
G/3 and churned once - also
