Common bird. There were few semipals and Bairds around and
I saw and heard no Pectorals. From the mouth of Voth slough
I walked along the lake and did not see the Sanderling pair.
around the hive-Plot. Finally ended up at the AACS where I
found an other Baird x Red-back nest.
In the afternoon I went to the N. end of the Drum Area where
I found an other Baird nest and where I took some pictures of
the Sanderling on her nest. I then cut across the meadow
between AACS a Microtel. where I saw an other Sanderling
and a Pectoral (bloomng). Finally ended up between Beach
Ridge a Imilkpuk lake.
28 June. A very poor rainy day. Stayed in all morning and
afternoon.
After supper I went to the field S.E. of Imilkpuk and the
Beach Ridge. There were 3 Golden Plovers (2♂, 1♀), Pectorals, Semipals
and Bairds x Redbacks. All birds were rather quiet except for
the commotion created by my walking thru the area.
29 June. Nice warm morning with little wind. No jerks needed.
Toward noon some fog. Sunshine in the afternoon and more
wind.
Went out with Pitekka to his census plot. Walked E. ward
into Holmes Mnass for about 100 m. and the S. ward Morea
len parallel with the plot. There was quite a bit of singing
going on. Heard Pectoralshoot, Dowitchers yodel, there were some
Redbacks; two pair of Golden Plovers, Phalarope, a d' White-Rump at
CRIEL. Found a Mustela nixosa skull between CRIEL and the CRIEL
