P. De Benedichit 1965 4/ 20 July Bearow, Alaska Stayed in the am. writing notes. In the afternoon went with Hamilton to set lines IX, X, XI. It was clear and the wind was slight, shifting to the west in the late afternoon. It was quiet and wet from the recent rain. There were few birds to be seen in the meadow area, nothing much being noted as we set out the lines. There were a couple of oldsquaw on N Meadow lake. The gashie Ridge area contained a few dunlin, apparently with young, and the 1st downy young golden Plover of the year were found by McClean who joined us. The Baird's Nest was empty, but the cider nest appears to have been broken up. After all had finished with the lines I photographed the plover chicks and checked the jaegers seen by the ridge, then went out behind the Medelows lakes, where I found a 3 egg phalarope nest. Found a 4 egg nest on the way in. There was a large flock of cider over the Central Marsh area, and we saw two smaller flocks at the lab. Watched the shadbirds for a while in the evening; We had taken Steve to Duck camp and saw several groups of king Eiders there. (shoten 4 95 to King, rest Common -1 Brent) and cider were going by in the evening; saw a few gulls and oldsquaw and loons and 1+3 2-7 Jaegers or Terns for out and a possible alcid. The wind was fairly strong in the evening and the action over the water was not like that of yesterday.
