22 june Barrow, Alaska
Some chasing by territorial ?? a Otter's
Census plot - but activity ever light.
Chicks reported a flock of 4-5 ??
near Tryplun 9:15 - 10 AM evening.
23 June ??? a second plot - ???? summered -
Only 2-3 settled ?? along the north
shore? Probably + very little
display activity. I found The
Mympt B model - next to -
mamm. On B came in + attacked
(Stuck at its head with its beak after
jumping on its back - very "dangerous"
action): turn - almost diminishing,
The model, ever fine. The Mympt seems
? hold some attraction. Although he
never did get close than 5 feet.
It would look - but didn't. On perch at
Dreground + moved off fueling, and
a return to the former area. Twice,
he walked toward the mamm - but
about 1 foot from it - saw it pass
the mamm & behind it. The M
walked back until he was again
5' - found. The bird was heart
flutter + seemed to have quite -
attraction to the mamm (The model
in its fine was flat + Dreground).
