M Verbeek 1966 Journal 17 ↑N. Strangely enough there were no Seminjabs. The polygons, with all their exposed turfy top should be good habitat. The polygons in the West were occupied by Baird's. The polygons in the east ad S.E. were not occupied at all, perhaps because they appeared to be very active, giving little grass cover and too varied, altitudinally, atopography. This same type of polygon occurs on the S. side of Honey Bucket and is there too, not used by Sandpipers. I was surprised to see no Turnstones. Turnstone seems to be associated with bodies of water, even if they are yet covered with ice. 19 June It turned out to be an other beautiful sunny day. It was Sunday and I stayed - during the morning to write some letters. In the afternoon I hiked out on the drum area and I went as far as the Mouth of Votha Slough. There were the usual birds. It seems a pair of Turnstone moved into the polygons on the E side of the lagoon. There was one Pectoral, one Knot and a pair of Rintants and Steller's Gulls. One nest of the Longspurs, the very exposed one Ptiltika ad I found, was rolled of its egg. In the S.E part of the shore of the Lagoon I ran across the two Sandshrikes which we noted there before. Got some interesting observations on nesting behavior. Near the Mouth of the slough I flushed a Phalarope of his 4 eggs.
