Cogswell 1950 Recurvirostra americana July 26 Little Washoe L., 5030 ft. Washoe Co., Nev. - 2 in brading plumage foraging by picking & probing. They were not noisily alarmed by our presence, hence did not, I think, nest here. Aug. 6 N. end Washoe L., 5010 ft. Washoe Co., Nev. - about 120 seen, in various plumages including (perhaps) some immatures. Some were still reluctant in their objections to our approach, but all flew as a flock when we came close. This seems like the most likely nesting area in Washoe Valley, since it is marshy (now drying) with small ponds here & there, & is relatively undisturbed. Aug. 9 Little Washoe L., 5030 ft. Washoe Co., Nev. - about 10 on SE shore, accompanied by 1 Stilt Aug. 23 - 4 in this same area.
