Makhi 1959 Journal 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.
