May 1-
We saw our first bat tonight. It
was flitting about the trees along the
beach and probably belonged to the
Mayotis group. Mr. Littlejohn and I
went over to a little island and about.
3 or 4 miles from camp and got a
lentecent [illegible] warbler, 4 Aleutoid Canary,
1 black turnstone and a surf bird.
The last 3 species were together in one
flock of about a dozen birds. We found
a bold eagle's nest yesterday and I
climbed it in the afternoon. The eggs
were 116 ft 15 inches from the ground.
The nest tree was a large spruce tree
on the north end of Windfall Island.
The nest measured 6'3" x 6'11" x 4 ft outside
side and 16 x 16 x 7 inches inside. It was
lined with moss, grass and duck
feathers. The 2 eggs were both
fresh. We found another nest
today. It was about 50 ft up in
an old dead tree. Both birds were
near by. Saw a flock of about 20
green winged teal today.
