W. GULLION 1950 Fulica americana 384 May 5 Lake Ternescal, 420 ft., Alameda Co., Calif.- Incidently, about 5:55 a.m. I saw O in the South Bay. No moved N when he saw me and about that time the SE O arrived to chase him into the picnic area, which he crossed at an exceedingly rapid pace. 8:33 EO still patrolling so I think all leave for a little while 8:44 a.m. a bird that must be the MF carried a piece of cat-tail from O13 to K7.4 where she seems to be working on some sort of a platform. A SE bird was into open area just S, at J-7, chasing Mallards, but apparently did not see the F. All the while the MO(EA) was at L11 - M12. 8:58-MO punk- nkings at L8 - answered by a couple of "punk-nks" from L6 in the S bay. 8:50 - some "punk-nks" at about P15, could be to E F, all clock 8:51 the MF chased some Mallards at K8.6 a moment later a SE bird came out, charging, MF went into the charge position but SE bird stayed S of the K8. Willow while MF stayed N. The SE bird ended up chasing some Mallards towards B L6 The E pair changed between 8:33 and 8:50 a.m. Now 9:00 a.m. as the E Mallard and her brood of 10 come into the area Q 22 nest area, the gives several punkas.
