May 30 Today I checked all the nests I have marked, then went to find some Mallard nests in the evening, going on the assumption that the I would then be on the nest for the night. However, I found them going to the water when I arrived at the wheat fields, so I found no nests. The birds seen today were: Red-tailed Hawk-4 Coot-3 Greater Yellow-legs-4 Marsh Hawk-4 Red-winged Blackbird-1 Great Blue Heron-3 House Finch-3 Meadowlark-3 Mallard-3 Marsh Wren-3
