Подробности наблюдения
During the nest count at Peases Island on June 22, 2018, we had found 70 nests on the gravel bar north of the pond and 43 on the hill on the west of the pond. Paul, Kathleen and I visited Peases today and there appeared to be many more nests on the hill west of the pond. It wasn't long before we heard ROSTs and we were able to confirm five individuals. Only two ROST were observed at Peases on May 31 and then one on June 22. We watched at least three ROST land on top of the hill about here (43.630731, -66.032050) and then two of them were seen sitting very low likely on nests. We picked a unique bunch of grass near the ROST and walked to it. I found a nest that was nestled between 5-6 inch tall woody vegetation (see attached image). The eggs appear longer and more pointed at the small end than those of COTE. They also seem to have more uniform spotting overall than COTE eggs. I then placed a rock on a rock adjacent to the possible ROST nest and we backed off for more observation. We saw three ROST return to the exact spot where the ROST nest was. Photos were shown to Ted d'Eon, Shawk Craik and Julie McKnight and all thought it was good for a ROST nest. I took as many photos as I could and was able to get a few field readables: L13, L36, L96. I only find information for L36 on Ted's website: L36 Banded on North Brother Seen July 5 & 7, 2017 on Gull Island. Seen at Cape Cod, Mass July 7-26. As you can see by the images on the eBird checklist, there are still nests with up to three eggs. It seems to me that many and possibly most nests on the hill are new since the June 22 count.
