P. DeBenedictis 1966 Journal 17 June Meade River Coal Mine, 157°02'5"W, 70°29'N, Alaska of Parasitic Jaeger came in from the N., and a pair of long-tails let us get fairly close near the village. from 4 to 6.30 we went around lake Agassiz. Only a few Phalaropes were seen but considerable did Phalarope activity on the far side in the pools. They seem to be having trouble because they are obviously looking for food but appear to be unable to find it. This is the 1st time I noticed this. A ♂ Pintail near where I found the nest and a ♀ Western Sandpiper on the peninsula. Also 3 snazaring bird the 5 corresponded and only loosely attached to this area. A few perils as, Lows, Fliers, and semi-palps along here and the Western Snipe, from a ridge area as before. The jaegers put on a good show near the nest. One pair of Terns, Eiders in the lake and also a ♀ of Scamp; a Herring gull flew over. Sabine (3) and Glauces (1) gulls S.Ting. We'll have to go out to the nest sometimes. In the evening went to the far side of the Meade opposite North dunes. Three Semi-palps very showy and Pictoral conspicuous, mostly along the Cams pools. Heard song but Steere found a 4-egg nest. A Gullin and Black Plower, and two low-tider seen. Archie looms calling from the Large Lake, and a Pair of Wagtails abroad. The area due is much better than I had expected and lots of wildlife in its area
