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.
