107 All the larks shot as well as a Carcara were feeding on fish - Presumably the dying fish in the drying ponds. Due to the recent dry spell the lake is falling rapidly. We landed in the open meadow marsh above the woods and worked back. Migrating yellow Warblers and Red-breasted Sedge-thrush were the chief birds out two. The sedge-thrush are breeding but must have their nests in the dense catclaw thicket that are scattered over the flat. We found that males in female damage were breeding; evidently forest type birds. In the forest again we found many small things: gold-crested Flycatcher, Beardless Flycatcher and a Duck-bill Flycatcher. From a little swamp we flushed a Siga Bitter which proved on skimming to be a sitting female. The nest was not located at the time. The woodpecker nest proved to be nothing but a hole.
