R.B. Hamilton 1963 Journal Cape Thompson 7 Aug. The day was overcast but it was not raining. The temperature was about 45-50°F. I took a walk about 5-6 miles down the creek that passes through camp. I spent most of my time in the creek bed amongst the willows. About 2 mile from camp I saw 2 & Pintail and 5 young. When I came upon them they were resting underneath some willows but they quickly took to water and the female excitedly gave distraction display. About 1 mile further along a Red-throated Pipit was seen flying overhead. The brick-riddled throat was very evident but its voice was different than the water Pipit. Two Golden Eagles were observed and in both cases they were being pestered by Long-tailed Jaegers. Two Willow Ptarmigans were seen in the creek bottom and one flew from a groovy field. About 5 miles from camp. 8 Aug. Another rainy day. The temperature was about 90. In the afternoon I took a walk down on the beach to the S end of the more colony. Nothing unusual was seen. Ptarmigan Jaegers were observed chasing individual kittiwakes till the kittiwakes dropped whatever food they were carrying. The Jaegers would then pick up and eat the food. 9 Aug. This was a particularly miserable day. It rained hard all day and the wind was from the SE at about 20 MPH. I did not get out at all and the bird I saw was flying along the ocean. 10 Aug. Another rainy day. It looks like it will never
