A note on the nesting habitat of GW:GM. Her first nest was in low wet
stuff-, Carex-Eriophorum russculum along the rim of a low center polygon. Then

antica mire uplands. That represents a substantial microhabitat change, and
curiously, she chose the more upland site 3rd, later in the season after considerably
drying of tundra.
