R.P. Hamilton 1965 Journal Cape Thompson 10 Aug. stop, I like Cape Thompson but from what I can see the weather is lousy 11 Aug. This was another rainy day. However to rain was intermittent and I was able to spend some time watching birds from the shore and also in a flat marsh like area on the other side of the creek. Along the beach I saw 9 Heiligen Ducks. From there I saw three flocks of Longspurs (20-30) in a flock that left around 15, but I did not see them turn back. They flew perpendicular to the shore in an approximately SW direction. In the creek bottom I saw three Dunlin and lots of R.d. Philomachus. An Arctic Tern was observed feeding in the marsh. A bird that looked like a Sharp-tailed Sandpiper was observed feeding in the marsh 12 Aug. Another day of intermittent rain. I again walked down to the marsh area after lunch when I saw a long-billed Dowitcher. In the morning I spent some time on the beach where I again saw what appeared to be Longspurs migrating over the beach. 13 Aug. Rain again. I did manage to walk in the marsh again and to spend some time on the beach. Longspurs were again seen to fly out over the water as if they were migrating. 14 Aug. The day was again overcast but there was no rain. In the morning I took a small short walk along the beach. Several small flocks of Heiligen
