P. De Benedichs 1966 4 July Meadele River Cool Mule, 157°25'00" 70°29'11", Alaska Clear, with high overcast building up in the afternoon and evening. In the morning went out to lake Agassiz, but didn't get a lot accomplished. The wind was high and many birds seen were resting in the lee of Eriophorus, tussorbides. There were the usual few pectorals and dowdeters in h.-Agassiz, along with Phalaropus and Semipalae, and lots of terns feeding overhead. I first checked the Curricularis-Catervina area near the Black-belly nest, but nothing much was there; still 2-3 Semipal and a '3 Western feeding on marginules there, and one of the ternstones did a little. There were 4-5 red Phalaropes in the lake by the corner plot, and saw one copulation on this latitude. The birds here were more suspicious than last time. Out in the marsh, most of the shorebirds were on zphagnum dykes in the lake, and seemed to be scrupes feeding except for alparriches. Could see Pectoral feeding. No dunlin seen this time. The Sabine Gulls were widespread and evidently have finished incubation. Tried unsuccessfully to find Temnists. Worked my way back slowly along a dyke, but little going on: largest group of 5 Northern Phalaropes and a few 4 Reels in its are, few 3 Rutter and one 2 Red Halted. They wouldn't sit very well, and had no luck in feeding observations; Most were well out in dynamics as moderately
