Fulica americana 467 May 31 Lake Temescal, 420 ft., Alameda Co., Calif.- fooled around his nest area, then I waded out to the island, causing NO who was remaining under the weeping willow all the time, to move out to S9, where he was attacked by the SW and chased to K10. The E pair have 3 rpg with faded plumes at P16, the I is with them while the J patrols against me at N13. At 1:53 p.m. as I prepare to leave I find the nest at J6.5 is unoccupied. These birds are getting pretty fed up with incubating apparently. NO stuck his head out of the willows, saw me hidden in the cat-tails, standing on the road, he gave a couple of "pukes" and retired.-Should add the egg #1 in nest J6.5 is pipped there, just a single unit of shell missing, the several more broken. une 1 Univ. Calif. Campus Alameda Co., Calif.- What may be the start of another nest has developed in the cat-tails during the past 24 hours. Those birds are cleaning up celery leaves etc when put in the water- that they failed to touch while it was on the ground. June 2 Lake Temescal, 420 ft., Alameda Co. Calif.- 9:20 a.m. No bird on nest. But eggs warm. Red egg still in nest and showing no sign of not being fully accepted. Egg I missing and presumably hatched. J not pipped.
