Saw 4 or 5 birds near camp today from 4:30 to 5:30 p.m. They didn't seem to stay around long, however. 25 May A large group assembled in a lake bed N of camp. Yesterday I saw one attacking a small brown animal that acted like a Lemmus. 27 May A few seen near camp but the big group sitting in a snow-covered lake bed a distance from camp.

All the birds blue seem to be adults, but some look like they might be Tchayei instead of this species, as I have still not been able to get a good look at them. 29 May Gulls flying about and now very vocal, but no large groups seen anywhere, and none on the ground today. All were definite this specia
