1. Cade 1957 Acanthis spp 18-21 June, Unicat, Alaska - seen commonly in breezy areas - no noticeable change in numbers. Late in even ing of 18th, while I was standing on high bank of the river, three 3>7 had a squabble in the breech below by. Afterwards, one of them flew up and perched on my shoulder for several seconds before flying on. Also on 18th - found a nest at the base of the ridge leading up to Unicat Mt. It was situated 4½ feet esp in an alder at the edge of the stand. The nest was lined with ptarmigan egg feathers and held 4 eggs. I was a close sitter and I very nearly had my hand on her before she flew. 30 June, Unicat - the nest found on 18th above was empty when I passed it today. 1 July - Unicat - A recently fledged young was cought by hand and released near Red Hill. 4 August Jago Lake One seen in a wet willow area a few yards in front of the lanes way. 7 August Jago Lake During my upsview walk I saw ca 10-15 individuals - mostly flying overhead in air.
