Childs 1959 M. oecoramus 29 June Pithnezea River, Cape Saling Alaska To be least Weasel. 4 July Completed runway transects 1-8 in a.m. Took 465 m 13 days! 3 July Found remains of dead Minotus in 4 out of 9 nests examined, maker claims this typical least weasel activity but admits possibility of cannibalism. On walk to Wolverine Mt. along Willow Creek wrote activity 4 nests were common. Upon return saw tender an a group of 6 and several other single animals live among tussocks. 12 July Pithnezea River, near SE Sage Sabine, Alaska Voles continue to be abundant here although there was very little sign at 16 min Tg + Tc. My impression is that there is not much difference in number of runway & winter cutting, etc than last year. Predators are not abundant. I have seen only 3 pairs of long-tail Jaeger, and one Parasitic pair, a Rush-ley pair is resident across the river. Saw one 9 March Hawk today. 23 July Meads Lion Coal Mine, Alaska So far more have been taken. Scoty on the first Terrace where they were abundant in 1955 showed almost no sign. The usual cutting sedges so typical of this species was not observed.
