1. GULLION 750 Fulica americana 471 June 3 Univ. Calif. Campus, Alameda Co., Calif. a little more swollen, can't tell for sure. legs yellowish green. Shield class 10 S. Shield well defined around its lower edge. V6 - photographed shield from dorsal side, is almost flat, shape of class 5 but 10 x 7 mm in size. Legs yellow. Scaling. G-16/29 - frontal view photographed, shield 9SS, a recession. (1G), leg Y, shield 10SS, irregular on lower edge. G-16/29 has a shield that is fairly well defined on the lower edge. WB - shield 10S, leg YG, the safety pin was bent that was on her. Apparently something latched on to it so hard that it bent but did not tear out. It was close enough that I removed it. Setting her go pin-less in the courtyard. Somehow she seems to have lost most of the feathers from the back of her head. Put equal amounts of carrot tops and lettuce leaves on the wet rack and on the ground. Also a cantalope on the ground which seems highly popular. Also put a few turnip leaves on the wet racks. note: Photographed a plate from: Grimwold, H. 1917. Illustrations of the game birds and waterfowl of South America.
