first flying immature owl, this from our
earliest nest. Birds have moved over to
high polygon area W. of N. Meadow Lake.
Both adults and two non-flying immatures
also seen in area. Non-fliers were ca.
50 m. apart, and 100 m. from spot where
flier was first seen.
Continued on, paralleling gas-line,
Bows very little. Two redbacks by
W. end of gas-line rings, ca. 150 m.
apart. No evidence of chicks nearby or
association between birds. Probably
non or unsuccessful breeders.
Saw small (6-8 birds) very active
group of smallish peeps in high polygons
by S. Meadow Lake - could not get
close enough to identify. And that
was the extent of the shorebird
activity.
Returned around mid-night. At
DACs saw 3 juvenile red-foxes playing
on road. Approached to 50 ft. before
they ran into Drum area. Followed ore
for 10 minutes. Fox would run ca. 100 m.,
then stop to look back for 10-15 sec,
then run some more. Continued this
until out of sight.
