3:50-4:50 PM. Overcast day with
a strong 20-25mph ESE wind blowing
Old Squaw were sitting on the water, by
the thousands. Few were moving-
just small local flights & a couple
of small flocks that seemed to be on
the move.
List of birds seen:
3:50 43 Pacific Eider, 1/2 way → NE
4:00 2 Pacific Eider landed way
by.
4:05 18 Spectacled 3 flock
7 King
9:15 40, 60% Spectacled
40% King - estimated
4:21 22 Kings 1/2 →
4:23 4 Kings - landed on water
4 Kittiwakes.
4:42 3 Pom (?) Jaegers → West.
June 7 Barrow, Alaska - Sunday.
The only constructive thing I did
during the day was to walk out to
the lead at 12 o'clock carrying the
ank and Kada. Ate a few feet (40) of
some King Eider mals. Too many
people were out there (5 of 20 total)
& the clubbo refused to come close enough
for good pictures.
