P. De Benedicks 1966 Journal - 13 29 May Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska and a few Bunting and longspurs feeding along the creek. With time were at least 2 and prob. 3 to 5 Yellow Wagtails, which I finally was able to see on the ground. These gradually moved through camp. In the evening 8:30 to 10 PM went to the creek SE of camp along the Meade to look for Wagtails, but found only Pammigame, longspurs, and a Western Sapsipper, which I collected. Spent the rest of the evening writing notes and went to bed. 30 May Went out N. along the Meade to try and get Wagtails. It was clear and not very windy, with considerable melt going on. little about until I got to the village stream, where there was a Wagtail and 2 White- crowned Sparrows with the usual longspurs and Buntings. Culls and geese flying about in small #s. 1 or 2 Savannah Sparrows, and a Wagtail flew over the camp earlier today. Longspurs are now song- flighting. In the village there were 4 Turnstones. Only longspurs beyond the village in the tussock guess but in the flats where the stabilized dunes are exposed I found 3 Golden Plovers and a Black-bellied, plus 6 others (Golden Plover) and a Rectoral Sapsipper in the dunes beyond here. Saw 3 "peep", prob. Semipalmated, flying along the Meade and one Sapsipper on flying over
