Fulica americana 464 May 07 Lake Temescal, 42ft, Alameda Co., Calif. Broke down when that I gave up trying to find a suitable nest area and so left the lake. The UNM is branded, hence it must have been W135. W-0/B is still distinguishable by the plattered brown head feathers tho the new style tags are gone, but who it is with him I am not sure. May 29 Univ. Calif. Campus Alameda Co., Calif. Lettuce leaves on shore and in the water seem to have been eaten with about equal relish. Both were cleaned up this morning so I don't know which vanished first. The set-up for the lettuce in the water is not as entirely favorable as it might, and probably should be. - Lake Temescal, 42ft, Alameda Co., Calif. SEF on the nest at J6.5 at 6:05 p.m. SEO was with M? in the channel, she splatted to her aid when she came off the nest on my approach. Egg # H on nest J6.5 is piped, just I cracks. All Several of the eggs seem rather cool, don't know what's going on here. The newly Ruddy nest so still under incubation. Both J6.1 & J6.19 are in good repair. J6.19 in particular has some lot of new stuff in it, including at least 3 sticks of wood. Found a Mallard? nest w/4 eggs at about J6.22. Marked the eggs. The structure at K7.17 may yet!
