Formal
19 August Meade River Coal Mine, 137°25'W, 70°27'N, Alaska
and 3 yds. plumaged. Golden plover
went over. Only one Pectoral Sandpiper was
an adult. I then ait over to the
big lake W of lake Agassiz trapped
around the marshes here, finder
3 pectorals + 1 yd. L-B Dowdler,
and a Western Sandpiper. 3 teens
but no loons in the lake. From here
went to the drained lake basin south
of Snook Ridge and followed the ridge
back to camp. Heard a Black-belly
plover and flushed 9-10 pectorals
from a small marshy area. Not
much else occurred. Nothing along
the river, but 3-4 pectoral + 1-2
dunlin flew over. When the birds
get out in the marshes I can't see
them because the Camp is so bright
and everything seems to be flooded,
in the marshes. Contemplating to get
more data from Phil Tolleson. Did I get it
in the evening. Almost no wind, but it's
cool and overcast, almost rainy.
20 August Worked along Village creek + this part
of lake Agassiz by CO2 in the AM
trying to take a few plovers of late
flowers, but no enough light. Cedar
