P. deBenedetti 1965 30 June Meade River Coal Mine, 15°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska Gathering of birds south of the cairn plot also was probably on a cairn. There are evidently more birds about than I had thought, but with poor by 1/2 exceptions, all were adults. By the afternoon most of the birds had gone, with about 6-8 in the lake. 1 July A few birds on the mudflats in the Meade R. resting. 4 July Only 1-2 birds near Lake Agassiz and evidently not resting on the island where they were 30 June. One was attacked by the local Black-belly gull. 5 July One or two on the flats opposite North Line. 6-11 July Two to 4 birds in the lake Agassiz region, all adults. Were incubating. Most molting for the inner primaries, outer secondaries.
