Chulets 1957 Calcaris lappace June 11 Wannamet, Alaska Found a new nest recently destroyed by jaegers. Cade found me with one egg. June 12 Found 2 nests, both with 5 eggs. June 15 Pitmezen River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Fairly abundant in the tundra; females acting like there are young in the nest. June 19 Adults actively feeding young. Nest with 5 downy young found across river. No primaries broken open. 2 fledglings caught in traps. Several others seen first day out of nest 20 June many fledglings seen 28 June most of these birds appear to have fledged their young. 10 July Langapuns appear to be flocking and moving along coast to west. 19 July Camp at Pitmezen River, mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska Just a handful seen of juveniles who seem to be moving down (North) the river. Certainly they are less abundant by far than at the river mouth. There is not indication of any cross-peninsula movement of these or away other species. 24 July The above applies to the entire river. Very few seen or heard until about 12 miles from cost. From 10 to 20+ miles upstream the Wagtails seem to take over.
