P. DeBerselis 1966 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.
