Mr. Brock 1957 Journal Aug 16 Pitmegea River, Pope Sabine, Alaska at least a dozen were seen. Childs Could not find anymore wheatears today either. Yesterday a willow ptarmigan was shot as well as several wheatears. Today the ptarmigan and on wheater were prepared as study skins. Took a walk to the mouth of the Pitmegea river and about 1.5 miles west along the beach cord then back across the tundra to camp. No wheatears were seen and very little other bird life noticed aside from longspurs, glaucous gulls, jaegers (parasitic, Pomarine & longtailed) and various loons always flying high overhead. Lates a short walk was taken up the Pitmegea River for about a mile along the beach and a short ways onto the Tundra and back to camp. Again very few birds were seen. Weather has been much more windy today than yesterday. Aug 17 Weather still quite windy. Childs and I took a walk about 1.5 miles SW over the tundra looking for various birds - very little was seen.
