Remsen, J.V. 1972 Curlew Sandpiper From any of our previously discovered nests. 17 July 1600 - 2 ff between Site 2,4 on Batzli's grid, both acting as if broods present. Both very richly colored on breast. Captured one chick = Myll G31 - 42.5g. Original weights from J. Myll. G31 14.3 g G32 14.3 g date? - 7.10 G33 11.0 g Recaptured one chick on Batzli's grid G31 42.5g 18 July 1000 3 ff on W. side Voth Creek near Site 7. 2 juveniles recaptured G33 - 39.2 g 316 - 38.9 g 1700 - 3 ff still at same place, moving slightly north. All three acted as if attending broods, but only chicks from one brood captured. G31 - 44.9 g G32 - 44.5 g Thus this brood had moved at least 300 m since yesterday and had crossed to the other side of Voth Slough. 2200 - No birds could be located anywhere on the W. side of Voth Slough all the way to the cross, or anywhere (e. of ditch) on Village Ridge, including areas to the north of Site 7. Ron Brooks reported 1 ff on Site 4 and so maybe the group moved back across the slough again
