Stevcoranis longicaudus
20 June, Unniat - 9 jager, probably their
species, was seen from a distance
while it was flying here over the tundra
in the angle of T.C.
5-16 July Paint Lcy
Rather common in the area - especially
along the Kotolik River and around
the large lake back of the site,
in these two days some 15-20 individuals
were seen and 3 collected, Birds seemed
to be doing most of their hunting along
the river rather than over the tundra
proper. A couple of times I did see one
hovering in the air over the tundra,
and one wheel. I shot an grouseel by
the river had just cast a pellet of
microfructe venenis (slee ?).
[illegible] entry) Jago Lake
Table said that earlier he had seen
about 3 pairs - they were definitely
paired and dived at him. This was
up view from the Lake in the vicinity
of mouth of Mc Cell glacier stream.
13 August Jago Lake
Four in 2 pairs, flew over the steep
bluff above the lake, westward of it around
14:30. They were "meowing" constantly as
they flew - hovering up the river.
