Verweck 1966. Journal 31 In a few Red-backs and a flock of Pectorals. Got back in time for lunch. In the afternoon joined Steve ad Tom for a ride to the Beach Bridge E. of the USC-GS Station ad started biking NE ad the i a wide arc back to Nath Salt Lagoon. ad back to the Beach Bridge which I followed out till about halfway between Weaver & USC-GS, where I got a ride back home with the group. The meadows N. of the Beach Bridge seems good only for G.Plovers, each group of polygons & ridges has its gain. Found a G.Plover nest there (#12) ad a phalarope nest on the Beach Ridge (#6). In the evening I checked the nests on the Drum Area as far as the hammocks at tiny line IX X. Several Semi-jabs hatched today. 6 July Overcast with rain. Hardly any wind. Made another census of P's plot. It rained softly but steadily during the census. There was no marked difference from the previous trip with the exception that all Redbacks had hatched and had left the plot. Heard only one Redback, about 250 m of the plot i Holmes Marsh. Found one more phalarope (#7) nest with 4 eggs. There were only three small group of Pectorals; all appeared to be males. Tom found a nest of what he thought was a David but which turned out to be a Semi-jab. While checking the nest, we found a David's nest about 15 m away from the Semi-jab. In the afternoon I joined Tom who he went to check lines IVA, IVB and walked back home from there. Found a Pectoral
