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.
