Stenonurus longicaudus. Amberly tip down

of camp - 1 adult sandpiling was observed.
Fledgling among the ground.
Afternoon, Mavor ID checked an extensive
Crosbytown-Carex marsh south (McBennant
Pur SSW) Camp. The area is about
4 x 3 miles + consists of marshy ground
& scattered lake ponds. The only birds seen
were Arenaria interpres (1 Adt + 1 flying imm.),
Phalaropus fulicarius (28+3 flying immatures), Ad.,
Aren sylvestris, & L. spp.
This area was inaccessible
during snow (June & early July) & therefore not
visited during air time by the crew - however
by its appearance, it should be good tussilago
habitat.
In the evening, Maclean & I took a walk north
from camp across the hills & several valleys
