P. DeBenedictis 1965 Streocorax pomarivus 24 July Barring Alaska - present at each, found an unwatched nest with 1 chick and 1 egg, the parents present but not demonstrative, to the west of Gaslin Ridge across the gaslin - this pair noted earlier and it may be the long missing nest. No evidence of any missing pair but the 1st extant nest along the gaslin road on the east side no longer vigorously defended through the egg warm. 25 July In the area south of Ikrowik the population appeared to be somewhat less dense than N and W of Ikrowik although I suspect this due to the low wet terrain rather than scarcity of food; they are concentrated in the areas of high centre polygon and the upper lake margins and fringe out around the lake. Estimate populations in the 10-15 pairs per square mile level in their area. Several birds sitting on nests. Flocks were seen on Footprint and Sungoohah lakes. 26 July Two nests near VOTH and each with one egg (piped and a hole ~1/2 inch in diameter and the other cracked and one with a freshly hatched young, the other egg outside. One egg nest near where the weasel road crosses VOTH creek, the pair not demonstrative and arrived in this area about July 17. 27 July The 1st nest along the gaslin Road (2 piped eggs yesterday) with 1 chick, 1 egg. The one egg nest found yesterday and by AACS unwatched.
