P. DeBenedictis 1966 Journal 6 July Made River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°27'N, Alaska Spent the day writing notes and in the evening went to the census plot, a fortunate choice. The mosquitoes are rapidly becoming impossible and now everything is hatching. The 2 Phaenigra is still sitting and its 9 eggs are not pipped. The Semipalmated Plover nest there is hatched. The 2 placers was on its nest, eggs o.k. There was at least one dunlin in the area, but they are moving down towards the K lake by the plot. Both semipal ests in the area have hatched, the longspurs are finishing their clutches. One nest had been robbed, the lining of the pulled out. There was a small group of pectorals in the area, but the local 2 seems to have left, got one brief alarm call from a bird that soon left the plot. The dunlin continues to act like they have chicks, which I can't find, and an extraneous pair was in the area. Both Phalaropes appear to have hatched, and I found one brood. A long-tail Jaeger went over the plot rapidly and left. A Wagtail well out on its plot. The Semipalmated Plover that had been off its plot by its 1:00 were on the area, and probably have chicks. On the way in checked the Savannah Sparrow nest, taking one of its two young, and the White-crowned sparrow nest, which has young too small to take. Got in about 11:30.
