Clangula hyemalis
June 27 (Barrow, Alaska) some flocks and some pairs? Are the
flocks composed of not yet mated birds? Are they
feeding aggregation?
July 5 Shore ice had returned and lay in the sea in
scattered patches a little way off shore. A
flock of old squaw were feeding in a patch of
water among the ice. One would dive below
and was followed in rapid succession by all
the others. After about 20 seconds the flock
would bob up to the surface.
July 10 Pitt Point, Alaska. Flocks of old squaw loafing
on bank and swimming.
July 17 Bull Lake -> Barrow Some large flocks (50?) of
old squaw in lagoons. Birch ran from sandbar
into lagoon at approach of the plane.
