Verbeek 1966. Journal 10 11 June Got up rather late after a long night and very warm sleeping conditions and very dry air in the dormitory. I was just in time for breakfast and I left for the field shortly time-after at about 8:20. It rained at that time but it was almost windstill and very foggy. I went down to the Voth Area to get some more feeding observations. In the afternoon we all went to Pitelka's plot and from there Steve and I meandered along Woelschlag Slough and back up along Elson Lagoon. Aside from some observations we made on a pair of Bards there were only Redbacks and a few Turnstones. We heard many groups of Old Squaw coming over, but could not see them because of the fog. It is a good year for waterfowl apparently. Each day we see flocks of various species - Brant, White Pouts & Snow Geese, Old squaw, Ridges, Petail. In the evening we all went to Wapik Slough to collect more birds. I only got one feeding observation. There were three pairs of Redbacks along the mouth of the slough, and in all three cases I only saw the male, indicating that females were sitting on the nest. Besides the Redbacks, there was one pair of Semipals, which were shot later on. 12 June. The wind shifted to the west overnight and this resulted in a beautiful Sunny day. However, the wind remained cool. When I went into the field at 11:00 clouds were forming in the S and W. The cloud from the west covered the sky from north to south and this cloud cover slowly moved Eastward
