Calcaria [illegible]
30 June Needle River Coal Mine, 15°02'5"W, 70°02'4"N, Alaska
before and seagull has stopped.
1 July Very common on the village flats and a few
on the village alders. Both F's and Fs out,
and rather social. Didn't see any nests and
no sign of its carrying food.
3 July All the nests on the censer plot now have [illegible],
the 3 egg nest with 2 young and 1 egg. Didn't see
any odd F's, and its return to any going a few
so 100 m. from its nest to get food. The
pair near the '5 marker and at 7 years (6
1.1 marker not seen. Yet still 2-3 F's in the
area.
4 July Sh/1 3-4 birds feeding on the Cornicularia
Celtaris flats by the black-belly nest and also
several birds out on the sphagnum drape and
wounds in lake Agassiz. They are widely
distributed near the river everywhere and across
the conspicuous bird island in the region
south of Sweet Creek. As on the censer plot, there
seems to be about 3 F's for every 2 Fs. No
nests found.
5 July Conspicuous but not singing on the flats opposite
the North dunes. More seen with food. They are
mostly in the dryer Eriophyllum flats and the
Cornicularia flats, but also in the willow along
the river to a considerable extent. Not conspicuous
out in the lakes, perhaps because this is less open
