P.DeBenedict 1965 25 July Barrow, Alaska Shorebirds, Jaegers, Snowy Owls and Oldsquaws widely and generally distributed. Saw downy young dunlins (three weeks), golden plover and dowitcher and found a nest of Red Phalarope. Saw my 1st Oldsquaw and Sabine's Gull nests, and checked one Snowy Owl nest. Hemmings appeared to be somewhat more numerous here than at the lab and were found in some very wet areas. No other swell Mammal seen. Jaegers somewhat less common as one goes south of Ithavish but probably a reflection of the low wet topography; no change in Snowy Owls. Nothing that really surprised us except the dowitchers, and pleased to have had a brief look at the Sabine's Gulls. 26 July. Stayed in the A.M. finishing my notes. Went out to duck camp in the afternoon but few eiders going by, mostly Kings and a few Common; only 1n2's. Oldsquaws going both ways as usual, and gulls not doing much. The Kittiwakes were all adults and the nests were fairly far out; the Parasitic Jaeger was a light placed bird. One prob. Yellow bill and several small loons, only led thr. for sure. In the evening went with Bob. to IIT+IA. Few birds in the area, and it was quiet. Two jaeger nests with 2 eggs, 1 piped +1 cracked; one with 1 young +1 egg and found a 1 egg nest of a pair that began to act like they were nesting c. July 17. No other pairs in the area. Then 3 were 2 & King Eider on a pool near II and the last semipalmated nest with 2 eggs + 1 chick. Watched the ocean for a short while but
