J P Myers 1980 Stercorarius pomarinus At Kassok on the Muddy River, North Slope Borough, Alaska 1 June Two flocks moving NE toward the Chukchi this evening. The year's first 3 June yesterday there weren't many. Today it feels as if the push is beginning. Saw ~75 including one flock of 35 and one of 21, all moving incredibly NE. They look so ominous. Black knights off to fight the incoming plague. 4 June More than 150 moved passed today, probably 200-300. Biggest push was during evening when between 2000 and 2400 I saw 150 or so, most in flocks of 25-30. 7 June flights of pomarins continued through evening of 5th but tapered off rapidly thereafter. Only occasional solitary one seen today. 11 June not seeing any more pomarins. 2230 hrs-I take that back. 2 flocks of pomarins totaling 35 went by the Trigga lick this evening NARL Barrow, Alaska See JOURNAL re incoming avian scene at Barrow this year. 17 June Today saw [illegible] flock of 7 pomarins headed east over the Tundra.
