Maler 1959 Journal June 22 Pithmegea River, n Alaska. Up at 10:30 A.M. Set up the movie camera recorder for a trial run. Still lack a protective box but in view of the nice weather I decided to set it up for a trial. Finally get at running after much fussing around. The Plus X 16 mm I got however has single edge perforations, + this old DeVry will not handle it. Went out to Pomaine gager nest #3 and watched from 2-6:30 After supper we straightbued up camp + fussed about. Nice warm, clear day. June 23 Pithmegea River Another beautiful day. Went out to Ridge 2 + watched for 6 hours at Pomaine nest #3. Returned at 9 PM or so. After supper crossed river & walked to Cyrfalcon Egine. The Cyrfalcons are gone. A pair of Rough-leg Sandhers now nest here. They may be the same pair Tom + I saw on Willow Creek earlier. Are very white looking. A Say's Phoebe nest w/ 5 eggs was on some cliff. This is a garden spot. W slope covered w Rhododendron Lapponeum Ferno on east side, and lots of meagistos.
