right across 180' or so, and is following a semi-pelleted
plower across wet mud (out of mud). Staying within 3' of
plower, foraging in pecks (not probes). Walking in a
slower fashion than plower - walks 4 or 5", stays a
few seconds picking, and then goes to new place.
This contrasts w/ classic feeding of plower. Back to
description of pond - dry mud extends ~30' from
edge of wet mud making this a very open area,
especially as vegetation surrounding it is quite
low. 0715 - pup still following plower.
2 more plowers showed up. The 4 birds flew around
together as a flock when I went after them.
