M. Verbeek 1966 Journal 25 Common bird. There were few semipals and Bairds around and I saw and heard no Pectorals. From the mouth of Voth slough I walked along the lake and did not see the Sanderling pair. around the hive-Plot. Finally ended up at the AACS where I found an other Baird x Red-back nest. In the afternoon I went to the N. end of the Drum Area where I found an other Baird nest and where I took some pictures of the Sanderling on her nest. I then cut across the meadow between AACS a Microtel. where I saw an other Sanderling and a Pectoral (bloomng). Finally ended up between Beach Ridge a Imilkpuk lake. 28 June. A very poor rainy day. Stayed in all morning and afternoon. After supper I went to the field S.E. of Imilkpuk and the Beach Ridge. There were 3 Golden Plovers (2♂, 1♀), Pectorals, Semipals and Bairds x Redbacks. All birds were rather quiet except for the commotion created by my walking thru the area. 29 June. Nice warm morning with little wind. No jerks needed. Toward noon some fog. Sunshine in the afternoon and more wind. Went out with Pitekka to his census plot. Walked E. ward into Holmes Mnass for about 100 m. and the S. ward Morea len parallel with the plot. There was quite a bit of singing going on. Heard Pectoralshoot, Dowitchers yodel, there were some Redbacks; two pair of Golden Plovers, Phalarope, a d' White-Rump at CRIEL. Found a Mustela nixosa skull between CRIEL and the CRIEL
