June 29. Little Sister - 2 eggs, half eaten on the nest near the lake. Didn't go to nest. One loon on Big Sister - probably a nest there too. Walked through area S. of Little Sister. Draw + then on bald. Found Longtail nest in draw. Came in 4 campby 4:30 after eating (+ cooking??) fanned in near parasitic nest + crossed river + found fanned the Longtail nest spotted there yesterday. Photographed Willow ptarmigan in evening dept walking near tent Today was clear + sunny as was yesterday Got internally lost about 2 P.M. Occasional breeze all day brought relief. Very few mosquitoes out yesterday when we arrived. They have come out today in numbers. The snow banks are extra large yet, and there are bands - 10 behind tent, which I have not seen before. Many Willows against the river banks are only beginning to leaf out + some bloom begun. It looks as if this warm weather is a very recent phenomenon. Ice still practically covers Big Sister. It is thin + breaking up but no still much more than I have seen before. Little Sister nearly half covered.
