Calcarius Lapponicus
4 August Barrow, Alaska
Several seen in USTI's Area and
flat country to the South. Two
were caught in the traps, and there
were nearing completion of the molt.
7 August Barrow, Alaska
Flocks of 20-30 were noted
both in the Olson Logon area &
in the Fortfoot lake vicinity. There
were seen 15-20 on the
Tegon Tundra. Apparently by
their moving (although the movement
was not in one direction).
11 August Pitt Point, Alaska
Many present. Flocks of 15-20
are present all over the tundra.
All the birds seemed to be in flocks this morning, seemed to have completed
their body and tail molt.
12 August Pitt Point, Alaska
These flocks are still present
and the birds seem to be the
commonest one present.
14 August Pitt Point, Alaska
Due to the heavy winds during the
past two days, the numbers of
seen seems to have diminished. This
