Remsen, J.V. 1972 9 July Curlew Sandpiper edge of Voth Slough. We checked the other 5 nests 1100-1300. N2: 4 chicks in nest. I collected and prepared for MV2 by F.A.P. Wt. 8.0 g ♂ N3: 3 chicks, 1 hatching egg N4: 4 eggs [N5: unused nest cup] N6: 1 chick, 1 chick hatching, 2 eggs N7: 4 eggs. Thus all nests are intact. F.A.P guesses the incubation period on N1 will be 18 days, but the nest camera film will give the story. The female gives a sharp twittering call near the nestlings which I don't recall having heard previously - possibly an alarm note for the nestlings. Females varied in their boldness at the nests, e.g. N3 female was extremely tame and even darted at us as if to attack, but N2 only scolded us from a distance. The amount and brightness of the breast color was also variable [illegible] among the females. 1600-1700: Returned to all nests except N4 which could not be located. N2: gone N3: 4 chicks, banded, weighed. 74-198301 - 8.0 g 302 - 7.9 g 303 - 7.8 g - still not dry - very recently hatched 304 - 7.7 g
