Curlew Sandpiper
juvenile ready for a spirited chase and then to have
them take off - wow. They weren't extremely competent
yet - one ran into a low screen and momentarily stunned
itself. The female was still giving the Prrrtt! Prrrtt!
alarm call.
27 July 1030 - Voth Slough about 300 m N. of cross: 1 heavily
molting female attending 3 competently flying young,
1 of which was banded and 2 unbanded. They flew much
better than did those seen on 23 July. The ff still
gives the "Prrrtt, Prrrtt" alarm call. These juveniles
appeared to have a rusty tinge to their buffy breasts, almost
a hint of the adults color. No others were found on
Village Ridge or in Voth Slough 1000 - 1130 despite
thorough search.
28 July 1350 - 1600 - No birds anywhere in Voth Slough, Village
Ridge, area towards airport, Site 2 or 4. Gone.
31 July 1800 - Britton Pond - 1 fledged juvenile feeding. Returned
at 1930 and took pictures (also photographed by Fred Cole).
