Walked along east edge of P's plot
and saw loose flock of ca. 20 Pectorals.
Nothing in main part of Holmes' Mores,
then more pectorals (ca. 50) and a flock
of golden Plovers (ca. 25) along Elson
Lagoon. Flock of pectorals also included
2 reo-backs and 2 semi-pals.
Discovered turnstone nests #1, 2, and
3 hatched or hatching; #2+3 cups empty
and birds nearby; #1-2 young out, 1 pipping,
I not yet started. Characterized nest
habitats for these.
Watched pectorals, plovers, and
flocking P red phalaropes in Marasso,
then met Mike at CREEK Wanigan
and drove in.
