Journal 13 slough. We crossed Holmes Morass at the South end. The whole Morass had on the average 20 cm of water in it, through which we waded. We crossed the Creek at the C.R.R.L. dam. The North side of Wohlschlag Slough along Elson Lagoon was pretty well drained of water, except for a few small lakes. We found quite a bit of bird activity there; this area opened early because of its elevation. We found three turnstone nest there on a rather small space. By five o'clock we crossed the marsh again back to Central Marsh. When we got home, Paul de Benedicteo was waiting for us, with some good news from Meade River. Apparently the season there is as advanced, or perhaps less so, than ours. We had a splendid, fluid, sunny day, with hardly a cloud - the sky and about 46° F. By about 20:00, however, a thick fog moved in, in a matter of two hours. Steve, Paul and I tried to get to the mouth of Wohlschlag, but we stopped at Central Bridge. Except for a single Red-back, nothing was singing there at 21:00. 5 June. left for the field at 08:30 and spent all my time in the Drum Area, which is full of Semipals. There are many territories, the location of which I know roughly, but the birds are very elusive at this stage and flush easily long before you get there. While out there Paul and I heard the flight song of the Knot. Baird Sandpipers were more conspicuous than before, which confirms observations made elsewhere by Steve and Pitella (Village Bridge).
