Colcarius leporinus June 24 Paint birds were observed scotford about the turks. At one place 3 males and 2 female were seen associating together. A dead male was found at the N end of the Britton Area. It was in good condition and probably died from running into a wire. The nest that was found yesterday was examined and was found to contain one egg. June 25-August 27 The longspurs had a bad summer. I found six nests containing a total of 20 eggs. at then I knew at seven that bitched and only one bird that probably was fledged. The longspurs appeared to give up and small unpaired groups were found throughout the summer. The first birds in winter plunge were seen around 6th September about July 20. On the night of June 30 large flocks of birds mostly in winter plumage moved into the Barrow Area. They stayed till the end of August but it appeared that the numbers were decreasing at that time. At Cup Thumps large numbers of winter-plumaged longspurs were present. They migrated downwards on 1st and eventually migrated across the Bering Sea.
