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.
