P. DeBenedictis 146 Journal - 35 12 June Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°29'N, Alaska. speed to A.M. writing notes. In the afternoon I went to look at the area W of camp but was not, as I suspected, very successful finding anything. A pair of dunlins by the next lake up V. Sage creek and 2 Arctic and a Yellow-billed horn on the lake with 3♂ Oldsquaws. A couple of ♂ Pectoral and 1♀ of Golden Plovers and several Semipals in the area. Red Phalarope on the sweet Ponds. In the large lake Basin Glaucous gulls act like they may nest on the islands and a pair of Arctic Terns were resting on a sphaerium dump. A couple of Semipal Sandpipers 3♂ here and 1 Western, 2♂ Pectorals. Both Red + Northern Phalarope in ≈#s. Oldsquaw and Pintail Both present. Found a Herring gull nest with 2 eggs under a willow. The Wagtail has an egg now and Ray said he found a 1-egg Parantie Tern nest near my census plot. Things are going. Still see Semipals in Pairs so I suspect nesting really hasn't started but one dunlin was not unusual. Saw 4 Westerns in camp. Few Loons but 1 Tern acting like they will nest. About 7PM a Warbler Course through camp but it proved to be an Orange-crowned, not Arctic. No eiders today. and little evidence bird movement. In the evening, went out to the census plot and back fairly good luck.
