Fulica americana 219 Mar 4 Univ. Calif. Campus Alameda Co., Calif. Tail in "warning" position, giving a low "tuke, tuke, tuke". Xw is sure insisted about chasing one UNM bird. Some carrot tops, having floated over to the ramp, are being busily consumed. V69 was just giving the "punk-nt, punk-nt" note. WB just gave a "punk-nt, punk-nt" note after chasing a UNM bird out of the water. V69 made one lask at Y1G. Y1G pecked Xw, Xw held her ground against Y1G. Roman, carrot tops and glass are vating top tonight. The spinach and lettuce + mustard greens have been investigated but that is about all. The water plant, broken brussel sprouts and clover have had no interest shown. Water plant has had some taken, but not overwhelmingly so. Some later thrown in broken up apple has shown a lot of use. Y1G and V69 were just in a huddle, WB made a pass at what must be Y1G, but had no effect, in fact had to back off. V69 is now in a huddle with Xw. Its getting late, guess all stop now. Mar 5 Univ. Calif. Campus Alameda Co., Calif.- A UNM (surely X) LB) attacked Y1G. When diving or swimming under water the feet are used alternately, and the wings are kept close to the body. WB was noted feeding on the leaves of green cat-tails. Dr.
