Lagopus lagopus
18 June SE of Barrow, Alaska
On the flight with Maher and S. Thinks
I saw a total of 4 males. These were all
in an area south of Delwally Bay and
west of the Kiffipuk River. Maher saw
several others from his side of the plane.
5 June Coal Mine - Meade River - Two cocks
were flushed in close proximity in a
willow area along the stream that
flows past the culloge. This was 4100 yds
kept stream from end of airstrip.
27 June - one heard calling west of camp at 2330.
28 June - one flushed out of a patch of dwarf
willow near T2. Adult ?
30 June - One seen between T1 & 2 in the
late evening - same area where it has
been seen before.
1 July I shot and winged the ? which has
been seen regularly in the vicinity of
the fork in the nearby stream, but
unfortunately he came to ground on
the opposite side of the creek and by the
time I had gotten over to the area he had
hidden in the dense dwarf willow brush
and could not be found.
9 July Uniat, Alaska - I flushed a male on
the ridge between Lower & Second
Towers in dwarf shrub - near T5.
