Journal 14 July Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°27'N, Alaska East side. One area was in the low willow island of the steep bordering the river. Only 3-4 chick were seen here, but these may have had chicks. The second area was on the Curricularia flutes. Here adults balanced or crouched and appear to do some feeding, though not as evidently as before. The only other area was north, lowest sphagnum dykes, to ponds. Here found an adult with a chick. Two 3 pecked with chicks here, (both near pond). Blood-bellied Flowers conspicuous on the Curricularia flutes but their chicks appear to be down in the marshes; got distraction display once. Phalaropes have become much more conspicuous out in the deeper pools, when about equal #s of both species are getting up and flying about excitedly, occasionally landing out in the deeper ponds, when the cover was fairly thick. No 3's were seen, and only a dozen or so individuals of each were noted. They are hard to get when they act like this. Longspurs were widespread. Bret flies young were seen. They were more numerous in the willows than elsewhere. Here also found Savannah Sparrows, 1-2 redpolls, and 2-3 yellow Wagtails, 2 including a young bird. The juncos at the far end of the marsh still around and evidently no longer sitting. Arctic Terns still attack all guild and juncos, but go over, but can't find
