June 25
A pair flew into storage area this evening. We are
seeing individuals rather consistently.
July 10 Uniat, 400 ft., Alaska
This was the common bird here. You
were out of the nest and I saw one &
carrying a mouthful of willow patches
"cotton", perhaps to start a second nest.
I was not sure that only one species
was seen. Once a pair seemed much
larger, and a flight containing an
melodious note was heard several times,
July 15 Point Barrow, Alaska
One flew over back plot.
Aug 5 East Qumalik, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska
This was a common bird in the willow thickets,
the only areas where it was found. The broods
still appeared to remain together which may
be an indication that there are the latest
breeders in the area. On the 7th an albino
juvenile was shot which was the youngest
bird seen of any species.
