P. DeBeauidis (196c) Tanner 20 August Meade River Coal Mine, 157°25'W, 70°27'N, Alaska West overcast. A group of about 15 westerly plume-winged Golden Plovers flew over the creek creek area, calling, a little, and there were 2 peckal and a dudulin along the mud; they flew off when I approached. Noctilu along the creek, beet white-crows + Savannah Sparrow still due. Sweet groups of Longspurs. In the part of (illegible) by CO2 there were 6-7 peckal, a [illegible] dudulin, and a dudulin flying about but not landing. In the afternoon went along the river & to the dinner, then inland over the pool tundra in the oxbow area, and back to camp. 10 Carrion on South Ridge about 11PM, disappearing to the NW. Nothing along the river on the dinner except Scotland Longspur. In land on the marshy tundra there were two golden plovers feeding on a upland Dizas ridge and at Cent 2 dudulin and 5 peckal, all scottish in their numbers. Only 1-2 Taegar and a few gull due west. Most of them seem to be close to camp and migration
