Calcorius lopponicus -6 9 June Meacle River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 20°29'N, Hachin Widespread. quite a bit of singing in the A.M. No courtship activity noted. Still highly concealed near the village in the Sylvania. As the ground is littered with seed here, this is understandable. Flushed a & that went into a distraction display twice, but couldn't find a nest. Both birds of the pair lightly disturbed by my presence. & looks like it has an incubation patch - ragged belly. 10 June Flushed two different &s carrying grass around camp in the evening but didn't find any nests (I did they very hard, either). &s singing a lot. 11 June Found a nest of a pair pair on the census plot. & carrying Ptarmigan feathers. & (empty) NEST 2. about 10 AM and an egg there about 2 AM. Saw one & with grass on Smith ridge and a & with Ptarmigan feathers seen on the air strip. 12 June Saw little activity W of camp in the afternoon through they are #ores and the &s singing. Good action on the census plot. NEST 1 with two egg, marked 1+11 today. One is larger than the other. No longspur in the area but a & with grass in its bill seen 50 ft from the nest. No other nesting &s on the plot and few &s seen at all. &s very noisy. about 9 pairs/30 acres, probably about average density here, but they seem more #ores near camp.
