Name { Scientific Catoptrophorus semipalmatus semipalmatus
Common Willet

Locality Mud Island, 7 miles off Aransas Pass, Texas.

Date May 20th, 1924 Incubation Trace

Nest a shallow hollow in the loose sandy soil, heavily lined with grass, the lining extending beyond the limits of the hollow and slightly above the ground level. Located a thick growth of grass and weeds on one of the higher portions of the large island. The bird did not flush until I almost stepped on her, and then raised a great fuss, assisted by other Willets.
