Lemmings: 2 Site )
( transmitters removed)(1000) clipped - 296g
Predators: nothings new ; weighed jaeger chicks at site 4 : unclipped - 290g
Longspurs: Changed FBP 10 film at 0915 and 1615;
weighed young at 1615. Collected 15 birds along Village
Ridge with TWC 1330-1600; only one banded bird
shot despite relatively short distance (1 km) from site
1.; the bird was a color-banded SY-RG on 6-3-72
and never recaptured. Where do the 50 birds we catch
at Site 1 on a trap day spend most of their day, since
you don't see that many at Site 1 by censusing . The
Village Ridge birds also seemed behind in their molts -
most males still had heavy black faces and one female
had not begun molting her primaries in one wing and
only 1B,50,90 in the other.
Prepared stomach samples 1930-2100. Coded
Feeding records on IBM forms 2100-2330 .
Shorebirds: Ruddy Turnstones seem to have left completely.
35 Golden Plovers in one flock. 1 Black-bellied Plover
heard flying over. Two fledgling Dunlins seen. Mine
Fitzgerald found a freshly dead banded Semipalmated
chick in Voth Slough which looked not to be more than
a week old at the most.
Migration (other than Shorebirds): 1 Red-throated Loon
