T. Cade 1958 Luscinia svecica 7 July Uniat, Alaska - an adult with a brilliant blue throat was seen just down hill from T3 on the inland side in a scattered dwarf alder stand on turgock-leath terrain. It was bold, flitting about Chester and me and giving "chi-chit" calls all the time. Probably there was a nest in the area. 10 July. Uniat - on the lower side of the slope on which T3 is located, I shot an adult with little blue on the throat- same habitat as that described above. Then, on the alder-willow drainage running down the hill from T1 to alligator road, I encountered 4 or 5 more adults, two of which were shot, and two plentiful fledged juveniles that could hardly fly. I almost caught one by hand before it escaped into creek brush. There were many passerines in this area - wozachs, redpolls, tree sparrows and a crowbler which I collected - (Dendroica striata ?), Willow warblers also here. 0 August Jogo Lake - juvenile caught in net at same locale as last year's specimen.
