Fulica Americana 251 Mar 26 Lake Temescal 430 ft. Alameda Co. Caly. shield. Another bird just chased from H9 into S inlet by a G, SE J at the same time charged to J8, stopping there, then a moment later, SE male splattered from K7, chasing another bird to G11, returning, he crowed twice while swimming at J8. GR, with 1 tag, has a flat shield. We're still on from other tag. - A bird charged a F at F10 chasing her to G11. She "pooned" as she swam out but the other bird gave no note. Now 10:55a.m., after about 15 minutes of noisy activity, all is quite. 10:57- SE bird charging out from K7, chard all three tagged birds from J9 out to J11. One of two birds feeding at F10 moved out to G9, into charging position but did not advance at once, then later started swimming across towards H8, the other is now semi charging across to J9. Now 4 birds are moving in the south areas, all from the flock. One just got chased out of the S inlet, followed by a crow. Now a SE bird is chasing them out from J9. The E pair, are both around the platform at P16.2, one on the platform, the other feeding on cat-tail shoots nearby. Now 1 was left and the other is feeding alone. The platform does not seem to be developing very much,
