Nleade River Coal Mine, 157025W, 70029'N, Alaska
Only Dectails were conspicuous but heard one pair
of derrulin and saw several Semiipalo along a large
lake in Cary marsh. A few douritiers bird little song.
Sabine Gello and Arctic Terns acting up along the
Sphagnum hummock in the lakes was opening up,
probably to nest, and A q Red M. Merganser
were here. Dq Parasitic Jaeger ? territorial
and long tails going over. Walked back along
the River bluff with only a few Semiipalo, mostly flying
over. A White-c. singing from the far side of the
Meade in the willow. The Village flats full of
Semiipalo and a few Phoebe, Dectails and
douritiers as usual. Only Reds seen on this
jaunt. While I was in the Flint's area, A phoebe
that was supposed to pick me up came
by and left before I ambled back. It left a few stakes
which I took to the census plot to more
conspicuously mark the grid. A Western Sandpail
Singing over the 8 rows (5-4), but little other
change. All nests with one more egg. Spent the
evening putting up birds. With the warm weather
now, all birds are very inactive during the
midday period and most were sleeping
when I found them. Semiipalo more active
than the other species. No longer much sign of
nest building or of migrants going by. 85
collected obviously starting to nest now.
