child 1958 Falco maticulus 19jun Patnayze River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Gyrfalcons are nesting on same cliff as last year in the spot that the raven used. There were three white young in the nest about 5 miles long. With care we can click to the nest. The adult (♀) acted as they did last year—staying away when we were near. After circling at a great distance (2 miles) it landed and stayed while I climbed to the nest. Harming parts were around nest and feather on ridge above. 13July Returned & try to weight the young birds There were 4, and they were much bigger than I thought earlier—8-10". One remained to stay away. 13July Patnayze River, 16 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska Again one seen near the nest, 5 miles up the Northfork. One was almost pure white, with only general line-like stripes at the ends of the contour feathers. Could not get close enough to shoot. Could not see the older for plumage. 20July Patnayze River, 7 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska Pete & I walked the 6 miles down to Falcon Rock and collected the 4 young (one alive) and the ♂. All were fledged and could fly well except the live one who must be the next.
