Beaver 1967 species accounts Pomerie Jaeger 2 17 June (cont.) As we approached the bird, she flew up from the nest and toward us giving a "cow" "cow" call. The other bird (?) appeared and flew around us but I didn't hear him call. The f(?) came closer to us as we approached the place she had been sitting. We assumed she had a nest, so we moved back to a point on the ridge, separated to try while at the nest when she returned to the nest. Almost immediately, she returned to the nest and we moved to the nest, which had two eggs, space like as in the nest. They were not very close together so possibly incubation has not started. All the while we approached the nest, the f(?) flew in close to us calling, while the (?) stayed further away. 24 June Steve & I were checking the Yangle flats so I checked the nest. Could not find the spot spot nor were the adult bird around. Must conclude the nest failed. This appears to be the case also where except in the flat just NW of here by Family Logan. I think that nest is still active.
