DeBenedictis 1968 Journal 19 Aug Meade River Cod Mine, (57°25'W, 70°27'N, Alaska The morning spent along the river by camp polking around. A group of 3-4 golden aurals, 5-10 golden plovers flew over. One dunlin. I decided to check lake Agassiz, with good results. In the section by C2 there was 1 phaoope, a group of 9 and 3+ lone pectrals, mostly restless and flying over + from the marble areas. There I saw redtail once one day between polygons not feeding. Around lake Agassiz proper there were 3 Arctic hens + 5 pintail in the lake; 3 lone jays. Red Phalaropes in the distant marble section, and a group of 7, a group of 4, and about half a dozen lone pectrals, probably come from the other part of the lake, in the marble area around the edge, along with at least 1 dunlin. An arctic tern feeding over the lake. Saw a Pomarine Jaeger fly over, the 1½ in a long turn. I went up over the ridge beek where de Parentis nested (they are gone now) and here found a loose group of 6-7 pectrals, 1? Bails, +2 Dullers which I saw only in flight, but which seemed to come from marble polygons
