Curlew Sandpiper
report from Mike Fitzgerald :
1000: ♀ E. side Voth Slough due E of Cross -
Same place as previous evenings
1020 - ♀ N. border of Voth Slough at latitude of Site 2
15 July
0930 - Two ♀♀ in same area about 200 yds SSE of
Cross. on west side of Voth Creek. Caught one young
from each parent - may have been the only young left in
either brood.
- 316. 26.7 grams
- 309 19.2 grams (recapture)
The females were seen to harass and chase (but not
as closely or fiercely as a Turnstone does) one of each of
the three species of jaegers -
1030 - One ♀ with at least 3 young on w. side of
ther ditch 3756 yds . SE of N7 (paced).
- 317 7.6 g
- 318 8.1 g
- 319 8.2 g
Thus they probably hadn't been out of the nest more than a
day and may have come from the N7
1045 - Another ♀ acting as if it had chicks in the area
about 150 yds SE of N7
1100 - N7 empty
16 July
1430 - 1 ♀ acting as if brood close by was seen
by Fred Cole, Roy Peterson and myself on ridges to west of
Footprint Lane so far south that it could not have come
