7. Code 1956 Motacilla flava 11-12 June Arcist, Alaska Seen commonly in all areas. Seems to be even commoner than last year. They seem to be paired up but I have not seen courtship flights. 13 June Seen commonly again. Some birds were in display fights today, and every bird seems attached to certain places - act excited and fly close as you pass through. Unprobably had nest along T-6, but I could not find it. 14 June Common in pairs everywhere. Frequently seen chasing and fighting - territorial behavior? 5 seen daily in pairs. Could not locate a nest. 18 June 21 June 22-25 June 12-15 July Recently fledged young common all over.
