Hoeman, J. V. 1964--Aleutians 13 grown-over railroad. See First yellow wagtail and recognize it immediately as it gives its metallic alarm hovering and dipping above us. Find fox sparrow nest, 3 e low t ground. Later on the sea wall of huge granite rocks behind our hotel with the wind driving ice inshore I see a black-legged Kittiwake following the beach, a graceful andbeautiful gull. Walking out near town I differentiake semipalmated and western sandpipers. It rains this evening quite hard. June 11, 1964 This morning I write a bit, attempting to catch up, while Win goes and picks up our old Chevy ($15/day plus gas). Nice day now as we go out past airport and highway dept. At milepost 4 where road enters hills we stop. I find Wilson's warbler and yellow warbler to add to our list, but Win locates a pair of golden plover on territory. We go on over the hill and as we come down to Nome River we see a swan going down if pursued briefly by a jaeger and up it a little ways a swallow I though was violet-green at the time, but later admit could have been tree, in flying around abn'd. mine cabins, 2 of which had bird houses. At mile 17.5 we get stuck where snowdrift seals road so Win walks back to get hwy. comm. cat. to come pull us out while I watch Jaeger, golden plover, nest with 4 e. 20' from willow clumps on either side. Next we drive down to Cape Nome again and walk back the road, I f'nding huge intricately-built hoary re@poll nest 6 1/2' in alder, 3 e. I climb to the 675 plus/minus summit of the hill there--a flat bouldery top with a recent cat-track to the old fallen survey standard over 1944 US and GS BM
