R.B. Hamilton 1965 Journal Cap Thompson 4 Aug to camp. In the valleys, along the rocky slopes American Water Pipits were common. Several pairs of Snow Bunting were seen which seemed to nest under rocks. Harry Redpolls were common in the valleys. A nest at 75. Harry Redpoll was found with 3 blue eggs and was photographed. On a rocky slope in the top of a hill a whistler was seen. Two pairs of Fox Sparrows were observed in a particularly thick clearing at Alder (?) - 6 ft. high in the second Valley to the North. An immature Golden Eagle was seen flying around the hills. 5 Aug. A day of rather heavy rain. In the morning after breakfast I looked at birds in the vicinity of the camp. Soon the glass on my binoculars was wet and I had to quit. I saw several flocks of Lapland Longspurs and several Yellow Wristails. A flock of Western Sandpipers was present in the creek bed. Some Savannah Sparrows were also present. 6 Aug. Another day of rain but not quite as heavy. After lunch I did manage to take a walk up to the hill to the north. I saw a young Golden Plover with its parents. They were using a field much grassier than the birds do in Barrow. At the cliff I noticed that this seemed to be more Common Murres nesting and feeding close to shore than their relative number indicated. Perhaps there is some difference in feeding habits.
