W. GULLION 1950 Fulca americana 400 May 7 Lake Tamescal, 420 ft. Alameda Co., Calif. WF and churred, WF retreated & WIBE stayed put. 8:22 a.m. EØ is feeding at R22.2. 8:24 to crossed to R23, 21, 8:30 a.m. EØ feeding at R22.10, a fisherman at Q21, 8:33 he is porta fooling around, feeding in the E inlet. At 8:36 he move S from the inlet to P21, 8:39 he is back at the S side of the nest clump, working in edge of the cattails. 8:40 a.m. the F came off, met the Ø at Q22.21, she moved S, he went on into the nest clump. A fisherman ha been at R22 since about 8:35. 8:41 the F has moved rapidly S to P/6 and to P/5 where she is now feeding. 8:46 a bunch of noisy people coming up the road, chased her out of the willows at P/14 where she had apparently been since about 8:42. 8:44 a.m. she is feeding at P/7.19. it just occurred to me why the costs are in the area G-J 114/12 so much, that is the area of the shallow reef, where they can get food without having to dive so deep for it. E F. has been out of sight at the P/6 area since 8:44 - 8:55 a.m. 8:57 she is preening at Q19.12, don't how long she's been there, but a moment later see left. At 9:00 am she is feeding at P/7.12 9:01 she is moving N via O/19, past the nest clump to O23, into Q26, 9:02:30 and continuing N.
