Verbeek 1966 Journal 28 In the afternoon Tom went to set his trap at a Hill and Steve and I went along for the ride. We then hiked along Volta Slough in the direction of its origin. This looked like good feeding habitat, but we saw no shore birds there. We then went W toward Village Lagoon, the shore of which we followed north for about a km and then back to Tom again. Again few birds seen. On this trip we saw 3 pairs of Golden Plovers, 2 Semipalmateds, about 7 Redbacks (we flushed two birds of prey), 5-6 Eleonals, one Turnstone, and about 12 Phalaropes. Not a very dense population to put at mildly. In the evening I went to the Drumn Area and located 2 Baird nests (16,17) and one Semipalmated (10). Two Knots flew over. Obtained the fourth feeding observation today. It is becoming more difficult to get style observations because the span is getting longer. July Cloudy all day with a cold wind from the N.E. Went with Tom as far as the N End of P's plot with the intention of hiking back along the Beach Ridge and the Drumn Area. However, I remembered I had promised Steve to turn off the heater under his seal skull and I had forgotten to do so. Hiked back to the lake in a straight line, but managed to check some longspur nests and a Baird nest (#6). I only saw 2 Redbacks from the N.E. of Pitelka's Plot to where the road enters the Marsh. When I got home Tom just came back so I joined him for the Volta Area, where I disembarked at the fork in the road and where I began to hike back. Tom caught up with me at FAA. There was a little more activity than on
