June 15 Pitmezen River, Cape Sabine, Alaska
An adult male seen flying river.
20 June 3 at river mouth
26 June 10 at river mouth. One flew up river at 2200
2 July 50 E at river mouth. Yesterday a chick
came peeping thru camp and I chased and caught
it on the other side of the river. On the way
back it jumped out of the boat and dove
so I could not catch it — a merry chase
with John Cantlon watching. The birds at
the river mouth are in all stages of plumage,
Some with white heads as well as eye patches.
