Stercorarius parasiticus 22 June Whade River Coal Mine, 157°35'W, 70°20'N, Alaska Two light phase birds near camp in the evening don't seem to be birds I had known about earlier. 26 June Still brooding on the census plot. 27 June Two bright birds on the flats opposite camp The 3 of the three birds seen on the census plot briefly, later over Lake Agassiz, where it was shivering up the Arctic Terns. 28 June Still on the nest at the S. end of Lake Agassiz. Ant said the natives have been shooting birds out in the dump at the village. 30 June A dark phase bird landed on a root at the E end of the flats opposite the North Bluff area. A light phase bird near there. Didn't check the nest. 5 July Seen over Lake Agassiz. 6 July Seems to be spending most of the day over Lake Agassiz. 9 July Went over to the nest to see what was going on. The adults were in the area and gave strong distraction displays and attracted me, but did not sit anywhere. Ray later found 2 chicks, as I had suspected. A second light and dark bird in the area, which were chased out by the nesting pair. When a Glaucous gull flew over it was attacked immediately, and went off as fast as it could. They seem to be still brooding over the lake, and also on the Eriophora flats of South ridge.
