Code 1957 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.
