Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 25 26 June (cont.) 1330(only) 20 mph gusts. we set the net at a Baird's nest first but the bird would not come in, even though we waited at least 15 min. we decided to move to another nest - this time a Semipalmated sandpiper . The bird just missed getting caught. Dr. Fletchler thought the net hesitated or clicked before it released. I need to adjust or remake the trigger mechanism. We tried again at this nest but the bird would not approach again. 1430 we moved the net again - this time to a Semipalmated S. nest near the power pole line. The bird returned to the nest almost immediately and we caught her. Dr. Fletchler bound her and then we moved to a nest marked s. s on the map that turned out to be a Baird's nest. I set the traps, but neither of us saw the Baird's again! One had been by the nest when we approached, but it flew off. The eggs felt cold to the touch but my hands are cold also. we decided to leave the nest to try another one further south. This nest is a Semipalmated S. nest. The bird would never approach the nest so we abandoned trying and decided to come in. We both were 1545 very chilled. I spent the next hour reading more literature on Tijuca by Freeman.
