Calcaris lappaceus
26 June Mleade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 20°29'N, Alaska.
One nest on the census plot now has 2 young and two
eggs. The 6-egg nest robbed, the other with eggs. 9
There is a 4 just off the plot that almost certainly is not
nest and one scantly SW corner that probably is but
which eludes me. Probably 6-10s on the plot,
in addition to 8s associated with 4s. They feed in
a greater variety of habitats than any other species
on the plot.
27 June Wide spread across the River. A few feeding,
on the muddy surfaces between the willows
along the river.
28 June Found a 3-egg nest on the census plot,
possibly a just clutch. One more nest starting
to hatch. The 4 by the 1,1 stake still doesn't seem to
be nesting, and couldn't since the 4 by the 5,5
marker. Birds are going 200-250 m. away
from their nests to feed. Still eg, minute 3-6
even 8s on the plot but hard to be sure when
they are so mistite now.
29 June Very common in the Salix pulchra along Otter
Creek. More 8s than 4s were seen, and none were
seen on nests. One along the lake 3/5/11/Wahe
Agassiz. Lured a Redpoll that landed near it.
30 June The 3-egg nest on the census plot with 3 eggs still.
2-3 birds seen, eating mosquitoes on the flats
Corrugularia-Citaria flats by the census plot.
Is now much more conspicuous on the foundation
