Motacilla flava 30 June Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°24'N, Alaska The pair by camp still with eggs. The pair by the coal mine very fitly now and whenever I get near them they get up and scold. 2 July The nest near camp has produced young, but can't tell how many. Probably hatched yesterday. 3 July The pair by the coal mine still actively up through. They don't give much indication of next location. 4 July No change. There is still a bird by the census plot and the pair by South Creek are even more active than the pair by the coal mine, flying over head and scolding constantly. 5 July One pair on cliff top opposite north bluff, evidently based on the far side of the mine. A pair by the bluff opposite South Creek. 6 July Chit gangs in the nest by camp. There was one bird by the census plot that went out to the 3,3 post. No song singing. The pair by the coal mine scolds as before. 7 July One pair on the dunes opposite South Creek. 9 July Two fledglings jumped from the disturbed area by the coal mine. The adults were challenging from a long distance away and are becoming a nuisance. The solar bird by camp coming along, and most of the eggs appear to have hatched. The adults scold more violently now than they did
