Jonich 1953 Clangula hyematis July 10 Point Barrow, Alaska One or two small flights off plot L.E. this afternoon; 4 birds at rest on Olson lagoon. July 13 About 20 on fresh water lake this afternoon; no large groups here recently. July 19 At Nuvuk and along the spit toward Deadman's Island old squares were active all afternoon. There were occasional flights of one or two birds or small flocks, locally. On the gathered floating broken ice and in the openings of the north part of the lagoon there were occasional flocks of as many as 20 to 50. July 26 Flock of 8 on gravel spit ponds beyond the spit, and 3 together on the lagoon. A flock of about 15 swept over the drum area, to the N.E. last evening, as if to alight on the fresh water lake. Flocks now have both males and females prominently represented. July 29 Occasional small groups 2-10 are as many of these as I have seen recently.
