Some pretty pictures and some light reading..... http://www.iannewtonphotography.com/v/nature/churchill/Pacific+Diver+nest.gif.html http://npweb.npolar.no/english/arter/smalom "The red-throated diver’s nest is usually a shallow cup lined with plant material. But sometimes the nest is built as a platform consisting of moss and aquatic plants. Both sexes take part in nest construction. This species requires a stable water level to nest successfully." http://www.natural-research.org/divers.htm http://nris.state.mt.us/apps/WildLifeBib/WildLifeBib.asp?ID=2060 http://www.shetland-news.co.uk/opinion/bird_study.htm -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List [email protected] http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
