25 Oct. Two more nests with two eggs each found
-one just N of nest 1
eggs 55.8 x 30.9 HE
53.7 x 38.0 HC
-one just NE of it one
eggs 64.2 x 41.6 HE
61.0 x 39.8 MT
Here Brown Bobby saw an ocelot.
I have been through that area for
6 times and missed both of the nests.
If the parent fly real soon, so never
see them for all the birds in the
air through this area.
A new Brown Bobby nest with
the pied-pied egg was found just NE
of old marked nest 49 which went
2 pt about 15,
21 Oct. As near as I can figure and they
are a have been at the lake, 2. counting,
5 nests with two eggs, which may not
mated. They were immediately checked
for pronounced incubation by the very
p2led egg present at nest presumably
at beginning of the survey
(15 Oct).
