Pt. Barrows, Alaska June 6 Point Barrow, Alaska: F.A. Pitka and Gilbert Greenwood in company. We arrived at Pt. Barrow shortly after 3pm on a Transoceanic plane. The ceiling was low and there was quite a wind blowing but we got in nicely. We were met by D. Wiggins who was able to get no feed, a fact which loomed all the more as we had not eaten since early morning. Wiggins reported that Schiller got the following birds 30 mi S of here last Sunday (37°): Red Phalarope; Harrigan; Sabine Gull; Short-bill Gull. The Snow Buntings have been here for sometime, since mid-April. Nesting activity is going on now and we saw numerous pairs, some with nesting material, some displaying. One squabble between 4 birds (prob 2 pairs but at this point I was unable to be certain) was seen at 6pm on top of one of the buildings between the Lab and the mess hall. No details were noted. There is a pair nesting building in an exhaust pipe hood coming from the work-shop of the lab. The bird is a much duller bird. She was seen several times going into the pipe with nesting material. The flight note reminds one of the note of a Tree Swallow and the song has the quality of a House Finch. Gulls were seen flying over the ice and possibly 2 jaegers. At Fairbanks at 8am we saw Tree Swallows nesting in the Navy Office Building with Violet-green Swallows also interested in the same hole. The latter's tail is shorter than the wings where the Tree Swallow has both about the same length. Also seen there were 1 Bay Phoebe; 1 Sandhill Crane; Heard Fox Sparrow; Yellow Warbler; Swainson's Thrush?
