R.D Hamilton 1965 Journal Borrow Alaska 3 Aug We tried again to go to Cape Thompson. Finally, about 1330 we left in ts. R40. Cape Thompson We arrived at Cape Thompson about 1600. Cape Thompson is quite different than Borrow. The country is hilly with hills around 1000 ft. high both to ts. Nests and courts at the base. A creek runs in the valley between the two hills. The bed of the creek is full of gravel with dwarf willows growing along it. There were several types of grass field present too. One kind is of uniform grass. Another kind has cotton grass which grows in loosely. Frequently dwarf willow is in the second kind of field. Sometimes there is field almost entirely of dwarf willow less than one ft. high. After supper which is at 1700 I took a walk along the other side of the hill to the roots of camp till I reached the ocean. There is a Murres colony on the cliffs facing the ocean to the North of camp and I saw the birds of it from here. I saw mostly Thick-billed Murres here. There were also Glaucous Gulls, Horned Puffins and Tufted Puffins nesting in this location. In the creek bed were large numbers of Lapland Longspurs and some Yellow Wagtails, Savannah Sparrows and White-crowned Sparrows. I saw one Blithroat in the willow along a small feeder stream coming down from the mountain hills. Two pairs of Long-tailed Jaegers appeared!
