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
