Pullori 1950 Fulica americana 199 Feb 7 Admiral Calif. Campus Alameda Co. Calif.- 164 walked directly up to W84 bowed and then started to nibble at her breast feathers, she turned away, ignoring the gesture. A moment later-125 x16 were bowing and billing. 91B + 134 are both tugging at sticks and pulling litter around. For the most part these birds are quite still and inactive, they seem content to just sit and preen or nap. Once in a while they saunter over to peck at some greens. X6 is still alive, looks as tho it may be in better condition than earlier. -Berkeley Aquatic Park, Berkeley, Alameda Co., Calif.- One bird with tags gone but pin and tangling copper-wires still on the pond, seen in the "Duck Refuge" area with about 10 other birds. Neither of the birds released here the other day ever been seen today. In all, 103 coots were counted on the pond, about half of what have been seen here previously this winter. Feb 8 Admiral Calif. Campus Alameda Co., Calif.- Discovered today that two birds have worn tags-2/3 - one bird from Oct 31 to Nov. 26, the other from early January to Jan. 31. An oversight on my part. B8% being the 1 with the testosterone pellet, at noon today seems quite concerned about a piece of cat-tail leaf she has in the corner of the courtyard.
