things on the surface. The immatures
feed more or less together most of the
time, but seem to do so apart from
the adults. 4:27 p.m. after drifting to
G22-some people came to J18 and
he moved N to I 27. Now 4:30 p.m. he
has gone back into the cat-tails at K28,
precisely at K28.7.-for the 2nd time: I
would guess its about time for him to
relieve his mate. 4:36 p.m. He is
still in the cat-tails at K28. The
immatures are feeding, scattered all over
the lot. 4:38 he came out, moved to
the open water to feed. He seems to be
moving more directly S., 4:41 he's at
G21 still stopping to feed etc, but
still drifting S. 4:42-Now he's moving
a little north. 4:47-some daydreaming
and I lost track of him. I think he is
still on the north pool though. 4:59 p.m.
in the last few minutes the fog has
closed solidly over the hill to the west
and for awhile no birds were to be seen.
Now 5:02 four immatures are back
on the open water feeding. 5:06 p.m.
don't know where the O went to, he
may be on the nest, I'm not sure.
5 immatures are feeding on the open
water, but no adults. He apparently was
feeding in the E22-28 area all this time.
for he came out at 5:10 p.m.
