Childs 1957 Journal 24 June Pitmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Cattler, Tetrars, et al went up river at 1130 regardless of the fairly heavy rain. I ran T3 & T4 (no mammals) and skimmed the Pomarine Jaeger. It appeared to be away off so I took the boat down to the bar in hopes of seeing and collecting some stout birds. Resting on the bar in front of the cabin were 10 Red-breasted Mergansers along with 6 Red-throated Loons. A pair of Snow geese flew in and a pair of king riders were resting on the leeward side of the bar. Many Arctic Terns on the sand bar. A couple of grand squirrels are resident in a little island surrounded by mud flats. At the cabin I found skulls of caribou, marmos, polar bear and carlin and fox. I found a Stellar's Eider, probably shot by the Eskimos. The sea was calm and a few loons were on the ocean. Kittiwakes flew by and an occasional Glaucous gull. Various jaegers appeared to be waiting for a tide lift from the Eskimos. The grass around the cabin is antagonistic and somewhat sunny. Up river they found a nesting in gypaeflem nest, long-tailed jaeger and curlew nests.
