V. GULLION 1950 Fulica americana 366 4p 30 Lake Temescal, 25ft, Alameda, Calif. eye shine. Bach at nest Q22 - a bird is on, but facing S, having completely turned around counterclockwise since I got here at 11:30 or so. At 3:07 a.m. 3 "punk-inks" at the S end - that where the earlier ones must have been too. 3:10 a.m. the bird on nest Q22 is the grey shield character, she has two tags hidden behind a cat-tail. 3:15 a.m., some pooking and pukking at the S end of the lake. 3:35 a couple of "punks" at the S end. 4:02 a couple of pucks from the S end. 4:11 a pebble from E ♀ @ Q23. 4:37 E♂ at Q23 pukking.

No, two we crossing to F17, probably 2 of the 3 I chased out of these earlier. 5:00 a.m. E ♀ finally came out at her second choice right quarters and moved S. 5:04 E ♂ "poked" on to nest, a bird at P16 gave the "punk-inks" several times. 5:06 a White ronto w/Bl + an UNM from near G16. Most of the Coos seem to be out and active now. 5:11 - seems to be quite some conflict at P15-16. 5:14 - the E ♀ came back to P23 - at 5:15 the ♂ scooted off the nest to join her at Q24. Now, 5:18 the
