Jonich Branta bernicla June 12 Point Barrow, Alaska Two pairs in LIE in early afternoon. There was some conflict between the pairs when they came together. Then and at other times the birds made demonstrative gestures by extending the neck forward near the horizontal and walking or running about. This activity did not seem to be directed at anything in particular. June 14 Two in central marsh this afternoon. June 15 Two on flats toward Nuvuk in late afternoon. One seasp repeatedly thrust its head forward so that body and head were about horizontal, although the neck weaved about and occasionally bent downward almost to the ground, with head still horizontal. The bird seemed not to be directing this activity at anything in particular but it might have been disturbed by our weasel 60 yards away. It walked about slowly, turning here and there. June 16 Several pairs seen in marshy areas in Barrow #3 region. Two nests discovered; one on a small island in a small 3' deep lake, and one on a marshy peninsula jutting into the lake. Each nest was on a mossy mound, about a foot above water. One nest was about 100' from a glaucous gull nest on a similar 15' long island and the 2 brant nests
