J.P. Myers 1975 Journal Grid 2 30 July (cont'd) ~3cm long. Curiously - the breast meat was stripped bare - picked clean, as were the viscera. Is that a typical jaeger eating habit, or had something else done the dirty work + el jaeger simply picked up the leftovers? Footprint Lake Area - 5 from transect 3 31 July 1400 took 3 wheelers to N end of Footprint Lake. Carrying shotgun in order to collect pectoralis and duralin for Yang + electrophoresis. Immediately, upon entering the lake bed, which is now drained with only a few channels of open water left. Much mud where the collapser have passed through toward the box well. On the exposed mud were alpina, melanotus, fuscicollis and one pruilla - P. fuscicollis was in the water + regulation. Through the thick grass of the drain lake bed were considerable numbers of melanotus, both 2? with young and without, & some fledged melanotus fuscicollis as well. NW from the old lake bed, toward transect 2, and lie an area of light polygonization with low center polygon and ponds. ? melanotus w/ broods three as well, particularly along the periphery of the ponds. I collected 12 melanotus, [11 & and 1 juvenile]. collected The 11 were almost all acting broody. Also collected 2 alpina and one fuscicollis. Weather was cold (39°F) with a long clearing fog, eventually no wind. Found 2 dead pluvialis chicks in two different places, one with a few entrails hanging out, the other seemingly undamaged. Transects 1,3,5 1 August 0720 began sampling transect 5. 39°F, low clouds, a light NE breeze. The wind shifted direction periodically this aim and never became more than a whisper.

It appears to be associating with Pluvialis in the considerably polygonized, dryer quadratato. There are mixed groups of adult and juveniles. Further, the adults in these groups are no longer acting broody, and do not
