Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 71 2 Aug (Sat) Umat 1200 We are now heading for the river. The sun has come through. We launched the 14 foot alum. Boat and started the engine. We had trouble at the first rapids but after several trips, found deep water that we could run in. Saw a flock of immature Canada Geese and 1 Canada Goose on the 6 mile trips up river. Went to a cliff with Rough Legged Hawks, Peregrine Falcons and Gyrfalcons nesting on it. The Rough Legs had already left the nest and were flying. 4 young Peregrines still remained on their nest ledge. Stopped & took pictures of both the young and the ad. of 2 go. The cliff was a loose shale and sand mixture that was rather dangerous to climb on so we went back to the boat and floated down to the Gyrfalcon nest. Only one bird was in the nest and it was ready to fly and it did so after we took pictures. The parent birds did not appear. We hunted for Pelycpeal fossils at the cliff base and then started back down river at 1545. On the way, we saw a spotted sandgopher so we stopped to check it out. It moved up a side channel. We found tracks of Wolf, Fox (Red?)
