Limno dromus griseus
- 1 -
Aug 12 Big Lagoon, Humboldt Co. Calif. - Fried
at two feeding side by side in muddy
Potamogeton covered shore line at S
end of lagoon - at what seems to be the
meet mouth of (an older mouth) of
Maple Creek. The 2nd bird left
but with 1 foot limp.
Aug 16 same locality - Dr. Miller brought in
a bird today that must have been the
other one of the two in this lot. It had
one foot crippled, and also a pellet in
the brain. He found it dead, concealed
in a cow hoof print not far S of where
it was shot.
Aug 17 same locality - A single bird was
observed following a small flock of
mallards in the fog over the W
part of the marsh. It called several
times and finally veered off from the
ducks and was lost in the fog to
the south.
Aug 18 same locality - About a half hour after
it began getting dark, a single
bird was heard following a flock
of ducks flying up the Maple Creek
Valley.
