a wild courtship flight. Other birds
displaying and chasing - a lot of
activity for 25 June.
Crossed Voth Creek planning to do
some collecting. got simultaneous
feeding observations on red-back, turnstone,
and pectoral but decided to go farther
to collect. Actually heard a pectoral
hoot twice - a rare sound of late.
got into collecting territory, and found
nothing! Searched both sides of gasline
roads, then good marsh east of footprints
lake without seeing a Calidrine.
Two pairs of golden plovers and 3 F
red-phalaropes! On return observed a
red-back and chased a ? pectoral -
