Remsen, J.V. 1972 Journal 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 overhead. 20 ? Pintails → W; 50 Common Eiders → N
