JP Myers 1976 Journal GRID 3 June 11 cont'd the o followed this afternoon (6/11/76-1) was flirting with as many as 494 through the 100 minute period. But there could not have been many more melanotos about, as he had no - what? - border interaction while I followed him. Saw one weasel, 2 Knotts, are sandealing while crossing coursing across the grid. May P.M. 22:30 went out to grid area in order to follow melanotos. Wind absent, a coastal fog but bordering on being clear, but with the temperature low enough for a crust to be forming on the ponds already. As I walked through GRID 2 the resident o melanotos were as active as ever - I went back at a burst of activity; the contrast between their and GRID 3 could hardly have been greater, not so much because of the level of activity of melanotos there, but because they are so scattered. It appears that only one, possibly 2 o's are entirely on the grid; one followed this a.m., the other NE (in the low reaches of the grid). One other its territory running from the mid to high 3 column (3, y>5) all the way up along the Village Ridge, perhaps 150 m. to the south. I began to follow this bird but was overwhelmed by the size of its territory, particularly given the area next on the grid. So I then returned to GRID 2 and began following a bird in (5,1), only to find, after 10 minutes, that it was a floating o. After the resident supplied it I began following the resident at midnight and continued todo so for 100 minutes. The activity record (retracking event of 6/12/76-1) reflects that life slows down on the kendra late at night, as did any qualitative level of bird activity. Display activity became more patchy, it would occur, with bursts of display often involving several cpecies - dunlin, semipalas. The weather this evening was brisk - not much of a wind - out of the east as usual, but with temperatures in the high 80's. In fact, in order to keep my rapidograph functional I had to keep striking it in my mouth. Returned to the lab at 10:200 or so. TRANSECTS 6-10 At 10:13 began on Transect 6. Sometime between my retiring for the evening and the early morning, a warm front moved in, with temperatures rising to
