P. DeBenedictis 1966 Journal 17 August Meade River Coal Mine, 157°22'5"W, 70°27'N, Aleck Check the birds around Lake Agassiz, to see what has moved out due to weather. In a wind - most every thing. All of the birds were in the tail areas would, out of the wind the pectorals being farther towards shore than phalaropes. In all, I saw 5 Pectora (1, 3, 17) and 3 min. Red Phalaropes around the lake, plus 5 Pintails (one cwm 3?) and 2 Arctic Terns on the lake. The nesting Parasitic Jaegers are gone, but I still haven't seen any young. No dourites. There was still a pectoral by the CQ wamnigan. Spent the evening talking with Phil. 18 August - Went down along the village front area to try and photograph some birds. It was a failure from the start because Guy- Shepherd's dog, Duke, decided it would be fun to follow us. Besides there were not any birds to photograph. I walked along the river and went in by the Sweecl lakes but saw nothing unusual except 2 longspurs. There were a couple of Savannah Sparrows in the willows along the River, and half a dozen longspurs & 1 Wagtail. Along the River on the mud I saw 1 longspur + 2 min.
