Found jaeger nest in AACS marsh-
two eggs. Clark's pectorals - seem to
be less birds, and less reproductive
activity. Only 1 courtship chase - 4♂
+ 1♀.
Continues through upper Micro-Mer
marsh - found larkspur nest w/ 5 eggs.

nest w/ 4 eggs in polygons ca. 250 m.
W. of micro-mer; jaeger nest w/ 2 eggs
on S. side of gas line near wanigan.
Checked red-backed nest - 4 eggs. Pleased
