P. De Benedick 1965 Steneorannis pomarinus 15 June Barnes, Alaska Lagoon. Saw no birds but one bird in a posture that looked like a gull regurgitation posture. Only about 6-8 near the Barrel and about 2 black birds. 16 June Only 2 birds seen between ARL and the Beach ridge; At least 50 birds out on Central Marsh, feet the birds almost all on the snow and only 10-12 birds flying about in its morning. In the afternoon there was a group 33(2 Flocks 19414) of 27 in the SE part Central Marsh, a group of 44 in the SW side, and about 15 on Wolfskill Slopes. There was more fterger activity along Elson Lagoon than elsewhere in the area, and Central Marsh and the area W of Slip Beach Ridge was quiet. No change in display from yesterday: one leumming flights, The birds not entering the beach, seen. 17 June The largest group seen was 7 near the W side Family Lagoon on a patch of [illegible] tundra: There were a few scattered pairs flying about but numbers were below what is usually seen in the area between Family & S. Salt Lagoons. In the afternoon Hamilton walked up to a pair which protested his presence by circling and screaming at him; but no attack. We eventually found one egg in a depression (indented) in rolling tundra about 1/4 feet from a trough and in frozen soil. We were able to turn the nest with a yellow rod
