P. DeBenedictis 1965 39 16 July Barrow, Alaska several flocks of Eiders all going Nward 98.9. Finals along the lagoon and a few small groups of Oldsquaw, many on the water. The Brent nest is still ok but down is all over now. One of the dunlin nests had been stepped upon and we didn't check the others - photographed the ptarmigan nest. Saw L.T. jaeger for the 1st time in a while. There was a small group of Pctinals out in Holmes's Marshes and a few scottland Gs, but other than dunlin there were almost no Calidris about and very few Phalaropes, those seen all 8's. Found one of the "lost" jaeger nest and in it 1 egg, 14 young & the egg shells; the nest was found June 22+ contained one egg. It appears to have been the one with 2 eggs June 24; meaning, a short incubation or more likely a long interval between eggs. Stayed in this evening, nearly finishing the calculations I am working on. 17 July Again stayed in the A.M. writing notes and working on the calculation. In the afternoon went to VOTD (though) to work fragments and to try to photograph some shorebird chicks, successfully on both accounts. I found both pairs of dunlin that were there last time and two chicks, and also 2 pairs of Semipals with chicks, each with two chicks only as far as I could tell. I also found a new Semipal nest. Several of the nests were empty and at least two appear to have hatched successfully. There was a pair of Br. Jaeger in the empty areas here last time and one acted like it had a nest. little change in bird stay. I walked IIBA
