Childe 1958 Lagopus mutus 31 May Litunge Park, Cape Sabine, Alaska Several pairs were seen on Low Marsh and West Marsh. I collected the ♀ of one and the ♂ of another pair. This should not help starting reproduction in this area. The female had a fully developed egg in the oviduct. The mules are still white but the head feathers are mottly & brown. They stand out like a sore that on the Tundra. A search with binoculars will show several stochion mounds or large tussocks. When flushed they fly straight then up and down with a guttural croaking song. 2 June Pete shot a ♂ near the cabin that was very dirty 4 June Flushed a ♀ from a nest with 9 eggs on the slope of Carbon Mt. 9 June Males still seen regularly 13 June Males seem to have moved out. They no longer are obvious, standing on tussocks. 30 June Saw a ♀ near cabin. First time in a long while. Males gone about 15th 5 July Litunge Park, Cape Sabine, Alaska Flushed me ♀ - no young seen.
