-a huddle with another bird at 6/6. Just
a little earlier a SW bird was giving
the "cow-ah" note. Couldn't determine
the reason. A short time later some-one
was breaking limbs in the trees
near the S inlet, which may have had
something to do with it. 11:12 a.m.
SE? on nest J6.5. A moment later
SE arrow saw M arrow just SW of the island
and so attacked driving him to K/3.
11:50 a.m. photographed the M area
and channel in color + BW. Nest J6.5
with 7 eggs in it, none pipped, not
egg in middle of clutch, all eggs warm.
Photographed in BW + color both
good nests of the SW pair -J6.1 & 18.
The J6 Mallard nest, and the Buddy
Duck nest with the two newly hatched
young. Also the P/6.17 nest of the E pair.
While I was out both E birds were
further N, fussing about something, the
didn't even dispute my going to P/6.
