Meelee River Coel Muio, 157025'W, 70024'N, Blush
were feeding along the river and just inland of its
willows, but most seemed to be involved in closes.
Two birds were taken on a Conicularia over going
to Eriophorus, where they did not seem to be feeding.
I saw none feeding along ponds, although birds
were in its area; the tall grass made them
difficult to see. Birds were then again concentrated
along the 2nd emerged beach, which is also predominantly Conicularia flat, and
were seen feeding on this, and working
into the smaller pools censured there; they did
not appear to get out in the calm water. A
few Red Phalarope flying over, but only 4-6 seen
on the water. One shot got away, so I only hit it
again
in the legs, and this shot together included a 9
that was just on her 2nd egg - but which may have
been an easier clutch. No flocks of reds, but a
group of 5-7 Widgeons. Flushed 29 peetrot, which
flew away together in a wet lake flat, Carey area, and
eventually shot 20ths, 7s. Only 1a 28's in Op area.
and no song. Two pairs of Black Belli in the 2nd
Conicularia beach area, and got distraction display
for both; No golden's here at all. One dunlin in
the area, but it didn't do much except hold. One
fly off. Found a Spectacled Eider's nest with 4 eggs
while closing a Phalarope, and saw a Black
Parasitic Jaeger sit on a nest at the end of the
