9 Aug. Barrow, Alaska
Two flying juveniles are now seen
along the west edge of Fresh-
water Lake. Often are seen
frequently on the tundra.
14 Aug - A group of 4 adults and 4 immature
were seen flying together over the
rock ridge. Then appeared to
be no territorial conflict between the
birds, but they were only seen
together for 1-2 minutes.
21 Aug Sturnus Adults + Juveniles are
still seen on the tundra, many
The pairs seemed to have raised
2 chicks.
25 Aug - Many of the pairs are still in territory
along with their chicks. It seems,
however, that some of the chicks
are starting to leave - as grown
1-3 or 4 are now seen.
29 Aug Two territorial disputes were
seen today in Central Marsh.
In both cases, the adults
announced (usually on the
wing), and a chase ensued.
The chases were of short
duration.
