Jonish 1953 Passerella iliaca May25 Point Barrow, Alaska - One was trapped at the animal house, the first I have seen this year. Banded and released. May26 Banded fox sparrow seen near animal house at 7:25 a.m., and twice again in the day. May28 Banded bird taken in trap and collected by Pitelka. May29 A new bird appeared this morning near the animal house, was trapped this afternoon, and banded. Frank Pitelka and I had just removed several longspurs from a trap. These birds had been there most of the afternoon and the traps in that area each contained two to a dozen longspurs essentially all day because of the readiness of this abundant species to enter the traps. The trap was empty only a few minutes and we were only 50' away when the fox sparrow flew directly to it and immediately entered. May30 Banded bird seen this morning and trapped in late afternoon. June5 Two, one with band, at animal house at 7:40 a.m.
