P. De Benedetti 1966 Journal ( 30 june Meade River Coal Mine, 157°21'W, 70°29'N, Alaska morning. About 9 I took Jackie to an old Carrion carcass and then left for the lake and got stopped by a suspicious turnstone. On the census plot the Plover incubating and a dunlin flew in and looked like it landed on a nest, but I couldn't find it. Near the carves on the W end of the plot I surprised a turnstone which acted like it had a nest. While looking for it I flushed a Black-belly plover, and unlike found its nest, with 4 eggs. The turnstones and 2 Semipalm Sandpipers were eating something in this area, the first time I have seen them on the Camaralucia flats in sometime. I checked the Island in the N lake and went back to camp, collecting a few flowers on the way, and then went out to the area again in the afternoon. The turnstones remained uncooperative (need the # of birds on the flat but unrecorded). I first found a pair of Semipals, then 5 Semipals and a Western together, and finally 9 Semipals and 2 Longspurs together. They were running about and feeding actively. I got down on my knees and found several mosquitoes without trouble, and saw nothing else. In the census plot jumped a dunlin at the 5.5' stack, but no nest as usual. The 3-egg lapwing
