Luscinia svecica June 13 Barrow Alaska - A bird was seen in the junk covered Tundra S at the ARL. It could not be approached closely but eventually all the field marks were observed. This bird was a g and did not have a blue throat. The chestnut patches in the tail are quite conspicuous when the bird flies. The flight is slow and consists of several flops and then a sail. A bird seen yesterday in the area W at Family Lagoon was probably of this species. Aug. 3 Cape Thompson - On bird of this species was observed flitting about the willows along a very rivulet on the S side at the marshes to the N. The pattern of the tail was closely seen but not other marks were noticed and I cannot even see the bird.
