Sullivan, J 1961 Chalaropus fulicarius stare at the pair for a second or two. After about 1 minute of feeding in proximity to the pair, the plover wandered off. A single & flew up and landed in the water about 6 feet from the pair. The mated & flew at the new arrival, at about 1 ft from the bird in the water, the mated & hovered in the air and let out an "eep eep". The single & flew about 100 ft to the west and settled in a pond. After a minute or two, she returned to the pair. This time she landed on the bank about 2 feet from them. The & this time flew at the new &, and repeated the hover and call. The & once again flew off; this time out of sight. The mated pair after feeding a little longer flew off to the SW and were lost to view. This occurred at about 1/2 mile from the AACs (receiveright) in a small pond about 20 ft from a sharp bend in the gas line. 1840 on beach ridge, near trap line X, I observed a pair of fulicarius feeding in a small pond. I approached within 25 feet of the birds. The birds gave a few "peep" calls (alarm), but resumed feeding on the far side of the little pond. They fed while swimming & probing
