0830 Steve M. and I rode with Tom out to the FAA
buildings area to run habitat lines. We started
on an E.-W. line from "Keny Bucket bog" to a point mid-way (on the west side of the road) between
the bank ridge and the road. Then, we headed south to complete another kilometer transect.
We then split up, Steve going to finish
the first line on the East side of Keny bucket
and then head south - I took the east line
closing the square and Tom turned north to
meet Steve midway on the line to close off
the east side of the square. This took until noon. We closed within one meter on the last
line. Tom C. arrived to pick us up while
we were still working on the line so he took
feeding observations for several Redbills and the
dike in the area.
1300 Steve and I cleaned and re-zipped the study
boards, then gathered material for doing vacuum
sampling, can trap collections and establishing
new can traps at Salt Marsh, rod samples and
re-establishing of the wind set. After getting
all this gear together, we left at 1420
for line T. On the way, the measel broke a
"boggy" so that had to be fixed before we
could go on. We vacuum sampled while
we waited. The wind is from the west.
