May 7 Lake Tamescal, 420 ft., Alameda Co., Calif.
5:21 - he is still feeding E of the nest clump.
5:25 - E♂ feeding at P17.
5:30 - E♂ moving S to P14, then back N. All the Coots seem to have been out and active since about 5:15 a.m.
5:48 a.m., the tagged ♂ is resting and preen[ing] at Q19.
crossed out
he moved to
At 5:47 a.m. he moved out from in the willows at Q20 and is now feeding close by there at Q20,3. 5:51 he has moved to Q26, and on N. 6:00 a.m., E♂ is ♀ feeding bits of Pampas Grass at Q37, just having moved S from N of the boat docks.
6:04 E♂ moving S via M32 to P23. A pair of Mallards have to been pubbing as he swims in close to the nest clump, and they swim giving him wide berth.
Now a 2nd Mallard (♀) moves by the nest clump, unmolested by E♂ feeding at Q22,16. 6:08 a.m. he has moved back N of P23. 6:10 a.m. now he is feeding at Q24.
6:17 he has moved N to Q09. 6:20 E♂ had moved N to O33.
6:22 - W/BL is moving into P25 but turned and came back out before ever getting very far. E♂ was at O35 at the time and as far as I could tell from F20, no threats were made against W/BL. W/BL now has moved S to L18 at 6:26 a.m.
6:28 a UNM ♀ moved into F22 and W/BL followed along not too far out, but now actually got in
