R.P. Hamilton 1965 Journal Borrow Abisko July 9. Britton Arm, Voth Arm and th. arm on the W sid. At the gaslin to Footprint lake for jaeger nests. We attempted to establish the number of jaegers nesting in the area. The results of our study were entered on the map. About seven new nests were located. An owl nest was found on the way to Footprint Lake. It contained four hatched young and 2 eggs that had just been pipped. The newly hatched are covered with white down. One of the hatched young seemed to have hatched before the others. I estimate that it was two days old and the others were one day old. In the afternoon we took Mr. and Mrs. Ross, visiting Bird watchers, to the area we had covered in the morning. They were particularly interested in seeing the Steller's Eider. We took them to the marsh along Voth Creek. Then we saw Steller's Eiders, and large numbers of Long-billed Dowitchers and Red Phalaropes. At footprint lake moderate size flocks of Western Sandpiper, Sharp-tailed Sandpiper, and Pectoral Sandpiper were observed. In the evening we checked shore bird nests and found more that had hatched. July 10 The day was mostly clear but cool. The temperature was about 35-40°F all day. The wind was from the NW at 5-10 MPH. Paul and I spent the day checking jaeger nests. In the morning we went to Gasline Ridge. We found two new Pomarine Jaeger nests.
