P. DeBenedictis 1966 Journal 15 July Meade River Coal Mine, 152°25' W, 78°27'4, Alas To the cereal slyrid butterflies. I saw and caught a Colies and Bow a possilbe Boleing sp. When I got back to camp Mary Blauer was showing everyone about and Then a 3 phalange came by along the river obviously breeding ducks. I caught two of them - a strange place to find them. I put everything in the icebox and went to do dives on the orboes with Dr. Augus. Saw a Golden Eagle and a King Eider with 4 chicks on the way up. There were no birds on the dives but inland in the Sunday area, a pair of Blood-bellies gave distraction displays near the a Cane pool (nearly dry) and 8-10 Semi-pols and 1-2 perturbs in the area acted very alarmed. No other shore birds were noted. Spent the evening putting up drinks, until 3 A.M. Figure I'll sleep most of tomorrow. 16 July I did. In the afternoon went to plots - graph some Podecathion on the far side of the river, which I found yesterday. I walked along its willows seeing few trib, mostly Semipols and Semi-polo. One pair of the latter gave strong distraction displays here. Afternoon and evening spent around camp. Weather poor.
