Fulica americana -42- June 21 Jewel Lake, Tableland Park, Contra Costa Co., Calif.- Any longer-- at 12:15 p.m. the ♀ went into the S nest, took a look around and left, swimming down to H 4 - at 12:23 the ♂ went into the nest area also looked around, then dived to emerge out in the lake . Now 12:25 he has moved to near the ♀ where they are both diving. At 2:05 p.m. a bird crowed at B19.10- crowed three- almost immediately a bird (W? ?) came charging over from near J23 - when at about F20. the crowing bird splattered over to meet him at D19 - they immediately went into paired display and after some preliminary fooling around they both reared back on their tails and lashed at each other with their feet- they repeated this performance 3 times. The last time with the W bird almost on top of the south bird. About the time the scrapping started the S ♀ "poonked" and came moving up to aid her mate; she arrived after the last scrap but joined him in display- soon they broke off with dabbing and preening. A little later one of the S pair was busy bathing - a few minute later - one of the S pair was perched on a cat-tail mass near the position of the original crow. - The nest found yesterday was revisited today at 3:20 p.m. very Still six eggs, and warm - inside diameter of cup 6½ in., rim 6 in above water, inside cup about 4 in above water -
