June 21st 2014, PAJA Pair 1

I spent some more time with PAJA Pair 1 on the 21st and below is a table of the behaviors observed. The pair began defending against I and my team member at a distance of 90 meters from their nest. I was able to sit and observe them for awhile at 83 meters from the nest until about 15:33 when the dark-morph was loafing and then saw me and chased me off. I then observed them from 109 meters.

This time around the pair also defended against a Glaucous Gull which I had previously seen them ignore once. 

PAJA Pair 1               Date: 6/21/14             Time spent observing: 14:50 – 16:10

Temperature: 35 F      Wind 15 mph            100% Cloud Cover

Type of Behavior	Total Time Dark Morph	Percent time spent doing behavior	Total Time Intermediate Morph	Percent time spent doing behavior
Defending	9	11.25	2	2.5
Incubating	35	43.75	40	50
Hunting/Foraging	0	0	0	0
Preening	4	5	13	16.25
Loafing	29	36.25	24	30
In flight	1	1.25	0	0
Altercation	2*	2.5	1**	1.25

Total time spent observing: 80 minutes
* = Listed an interaction with another dark-morph PAJA as altercation, because did not clearly defend. Interaction actually appeared to be more 'friendly', since after initial interaction, they both stood on the tundra within a few meters of each other.

** = Altercation was with a pair of King Eiders, may have been harassing them if there was a nest, but I did not check if was the case.

I realize that the tables are extending beyond the bounds of the post and I am trying to fix it. I apologize if it makes it a bit more difficult to read. **EDIT: I fixed them!
