10 July Barrow, Alaska - as we approached the nest (but the
pair remained close to the nest until we left the
area. None were vocal.
13 July One seen flying N over Central Muck.
14 July a lone bird was seen in one of the pools in Central Muck
16 July one flying south along Elson Lagoon.
25 July Birds both on the waters and in flight in the lake area
from Eksrauit south. Several pairs seen. All on the waters
were in large pools that provide a long nursery for the
birds to become airborne. One pair at the sabine's colony
examined. Not much indication of vocalization.
29 July One seen out in the wet frond marshy area of
Lay's Lake in the NNE part of Central Muck, as if on a
nest. Two along Elson Lagoon and two, apparently
with a nest on a small island of sphaenum in a large
pond, between [illegible] Slough and Lines VII-VIII.
This pair in flight made noise rather like that
described for Red-throated Loons.
