Zonotrichia leucophrys
30 May Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska
Two feeding with longspurs in grassy regions along
the creek N. of camp by the village. Both fairly shy,
but covering much territory in their activities.
31 May At least two in camp (one here last night) and
along the creek and one in the "canna plot" area.
No song. They feed most along the edge of grassy
areas where the ground is bare, and are more
active than the average longspur. They appear
much slimmer in flight. Two together include
AF Wannigan about 9 P.M.
1 June Still at least one near camp. Thought I
heard song once.
SAVANNAH SPARROW
2 June There are more here than I though. Two or
three singing on the far side of the Meade River
of camp and 2-3 around camp, 3-4 in the
flats N. of the village along the river, 1-2 in
the polygonal area W. of the village, and 2-3
in stapolized dune-bluff area 2-3 miles N. of
camp. I suspect not are paired and no flocks
are evident.
2 June There were two+ birds along the creek, one in
the flats N. of the village, and one+ on the bluff
2 mi. N. of camp this A.M. Still no song. Still
one near the "canna plot." There are a lot around!
3 June One between camp area the AF Wannigan about 1 P.M.
4 June Two in the village, both with gray lores and unjoined eye stripes.
