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!
