Verbeek 1966 Journal 29 the Beach Ridge. There was one Turnstone scolding me, Two pair of Semipalm and a pair of Bandits. Opposite the FAA station, along the lagoon where two pair of Red-backs.

At the N. end I found a Golder Player nest (#4) and a Redback nest (13). There was almost no Pectoral activity. Only saw 1 q.
