P. De Benedicht 1966 Journal 7 July Meede River Coal Mine, (15°02'5"W, 70°27'N), Albor Sampalo. Nothing along the river, except lots of longspurs in the willows. The longspurs seem to be very bothered by the mosquitoes, and are constantly scratching. Too many mosquitoes to fry anything in the evening, so I stayed in. It is impossible out there. 8 July I tried, but the mosquitoes wouldn't let me. I went to the area by the Black-belly nest to see what was going on in huka Ayassiy, but it was miserable. There was little activity by the CO2 wannigan but near the end of Phil's transect I began to see into shockbirds. The F. Ptaiguan was in this area and gave a strong distraction-flight display when I approached. She must have had chicks, but I couldn't find them; the nest is disturbed, probably today. Near here I began to find semipalos that act like they have young, but saw no chicks. The adults were mostly up above the beach like for hake Agenniy but came down into the lake basin to scold. In the lake basin they did not, only occasionally fed, whereas they feed more frequently between forests of cassia in the upland areas. There were 1-2 P phalaropes that also acted suspiciously in the Lake Basin region, and I heard chicks calling there. The Trinotone came out to scold with by Sampalo, and a pair of Westerns were in the area
