Barzana carolinia
Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co. Calif.
Aug. 13 at the border of the sedge (not Scirpus) paddles
a Botamogeton near the mouth of Maple Creek just
E. of the highway bridge I saw two, shot
one (an adult, = #22), and heard at least three
others in nearby sedge or Scirpus growths.
The one obtained had just been feeding
in the Botamogeton beds a few feet from the
sedge. Its stomach held several hard, black
seeds as well as a partially digested mass
of green material.
Aug 16,17 - Several heard in t[illegible] tule and sedge marsh
areas at S.E. end of the lagoon. "Keek" calls
were the only ones identified as this species.
No "see-ree" calls were heard.
