NAM Verbeek 1966 Calidris alpina (4) 27 June Found a nest with 4 eggs behind the AACS hut (the sheet iron one). Below the telephone line (#11) 2 July New nest (#12) with 4 eggs on the Drum Run. m E of telephone pole. This bird has escaped me for over 3 weeks now. Its eggs should hatch any day now. The nest is located in the center of what used to be a small bare patch in a snow field. 3 July. New nest (#13) with 4 young at the N.E. of P's plot. The three nests on P's plot all had hatched y.g.to-day. If one nest (#10) one egg had not hatched and the three young of this nest were about 25 m to the E. of the nest. Nest #2 still had 4 eggs at 22:00, all other nests on P's plot (1,10,13) were empty. 4 July #6, 11, 12 all eggs present. 5 July #6 - 3 day y.g., 1 egg 21:30. #11,12 all eggs present. 6 July #2 empty except for one egg. Probably left nest yesterday or perhaps early this morning. None of the other Redbacks usually seen on P's plot were present to-day. I guess they either lost their y.g. or took them to the marsh. #8 - 3 young (day) + 1 egg i. nest at 17:00 7 July #6 nest empty, parents around and excited. 9 July Noticed a feeding Redback to-day which did no jollying at all during the 9 x 30 sec. I observed her. Part of the time she was feeding along the shore of a puddle and part of the time in tall grass (4"). Along the shore she was pecking food, like a semipalmated plover, but out in the grass
