7. De Benedetti 1966 Townhall 8 July Meadow River Coal Mine, 15°25'W, 70°27'N, Nuk. briefly. There were 3-5 Semipals feeding on the Cornucularia flat at the N end and up to 7 together at the S end. The Plovers are still in cobaltine. There were only half a dozzen Arctic Terns over h. Agassiz this time and few Sabine Gulls were in evidence - I saw no ducks on the lake except 1 Oldsquaw. Near the cornucularia flat in the Eriophorum flat, a f of dunlin gale about calls but didn't feed, and was soon joined by 1-2 Semip- als. Pectoral were noted along the edge of the lake but did not seem to be nesting birds. I went walk through the Terns plot. Only, a few Semipals and dunlin were there, all in the Eriophorum flats and the golden Plovers are just finishing. One egg has a hole in the shell & the others are cracked, should hatch by tomorrow. Stayed in much of the afternoon then went over by the village to see if any tins was there, but mosquitoes were impossible. Didn't really try to get it in the evening, but skimmed a Wagtall young from Ternut by camp. 9 July The weather turned very bad and the mosquitoes seem to have disappeared, so I went to check the Terns plot. Not much activity due to the wind, but most of the nests were watched now and its settling fairly quiet time. There are now longipennis
