R.B. Hamilton 1965 Journal Bzrow Alaska July 3 Put the traps for lines IVA and IVB out. The area in which the traps were placed is very wet and in some cases the traps were further than six feet from the stake. Red Phalarope and Pectoral Sandpipers are the most common birds in this area. A flock of Gloucos Gulls is present on the hill to the N. A Steller's Eider may be nesting between line IVB and Voth Creek. In the evening I took in lines IVA and XA. A flock of about 15 Golden Plover were present. The Long-tailed Jaegers were still present in this area. Some of the birds were practically tailless. A 5 egg Pectoral Sandpiper nest was found near line IVB. July 4 The day was overcast and the temperature was between 35° and 90°. The wind was from the NE at about 15 MPH. The morning was drizzly. In the morning I ran lines IIIA and IIB. The wind made the running of the lines uncomfortable. A flock of about 24 King Eiders were observed flying E. In the afternoon I helped Dr. Pitelka process Lemmings. In the evening I ran lines IIIA, IIB IIA and IVB. During the running and the way to the lines nests of Pomarine Jaegers, Semipalmated Sandpiper, Dunlin, Golden Plover and Red Phalarope were found. All of these nests contained full clutches of eggs. At lines IVA and IVB is the cruising an encounter between a Gloucos Gull and two Pomarine Jaegers were observed. The Jaegers persistently hit the gull and once the gull was knocked to the ground on its back. It sat up and finally managed!
