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.

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.
