P. G. Beesdell 1966 Journal 8 August Meade River Coel Pine, 157°25'W, 70°29'N, Okefa. Wind is hopeless. Went to the census plot and the upper part of lake Agassiz to see what was around. The area is obviously past peak flower and the grasses on the upland habitats are starting to brown. Only the latest flower and snow bank areas still in flower. There are small groups of longspurs. On the census plot saw only 2 cluckin, 2 Willow Plummigan, 4-5- longspur, plus 5 Red Phalarope + 3 longspur +1 Waytail which flew over. The cluckin were both immature, along the now empty cross-center polygon posts, and the plummigan were adults. Saw 1 Black Belly Plover in the polygonal area South of this plot. The longspur in complete plumage and two without tails. There were 10-2 Red + 1 Nathan Phalarope in the lake by 1/6 post and many swans in the marsh along habetgapy. The edge of the lake is nearly empty, only 1-2" of water at the post, and eventually with 100% cover cover, the plants space 2-4" apart. There were at least 4-6 Pectorals (lack, gully, alarm calls, +2 immatures), 2 male & long billed Dowthbeers, which acted like they had chicks (I could find them) feeding along the marches, and 4-6 Red and at least 12
