Bavia stellata
June 19 Vith Area 1845 - a loon flew over going toward
Barrow Village. Species not certain.
June 20 Two red-throated loons were on Lake Skroavik
today. As I neared the lake in a weasel, one of the loons flew up, the other dived.
The one in the air flew near and then
circled the lake.
June 24 Holmer spotted a nest by a tundra pool between
Wkpih and Wolihelag Slough. It was constructed
right next to the water. The sides were of mud
and sedge and slightly elevated (1in-1½in). Two
olive colored eggs were in the nest. The loon
had flown off as we neared in the weasel. A
slide (6-8in. long) had been constructed between
nest and water.
June 27 2 loons dead outside lab. "Collectors" were looking
for parasites (one was a ♂ red-throat). The other
a ♀ arctic. Three birds had been caught in a gill
net set for fish in Lake Skroavik.
July 14 Pitt Point, Alaska - a ♀ red-throated loon often
togethur fishing or flying.
