sloping part of Beach Ridge toward the
marsh, and the third, in a trough on top of
the Ridge. One trap foot, #3 or #4, had an adult
Tringa canicollaris Tringa at (identified by mader)
The meat was still alive - Steve said it was a T
because of the wings. 2's have reduced 20 wings.
I forgot to mention the location of
the emergence traps at line #4 on Beach
Ridge. Trap #1 is on a flat, wet area
, #2 on a dry flat area and #3 on a polygon
top. (For a full description of vegetation,
etc., see dipther study.) After setting out
the traps, we started back to NRL and also to
check the pit fall traps on the entrance to
Central Marsh. We stopped near three
sectoral Sandpipers and Steve asked me to
shoot them so I did - all three with one shot
but one got up after a while and flew off
before we could get to it. Steve had walked
past it to pick up another bird. So, I only got two,
I guess. We checked the pit fall traps, and we
had a L. gracilirostris adult in it - according
to Mader. We kept it for examination
later. We returned to camp at 1715.
2100 I checked the nests. The weather is fairly warm
and has been all day. The wind is not very strong
from the East. I got all but nest #6 tonight.
