M. Brock 1958 June 25 Atkasuk, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska Not having any meat delivered on the plane to feed us for the next week, we started seeking food while setting out our traps. On a pond east of traverse VII and VIII we shot two old squaw with one shot, one was crippled so that it started to drift to shore with the wind. The other, also crippled, was able to flap its way along the water and then dive - never to rise again. Then before the first duck reached shore it also dove and never again came up. Thus we lost both birds. July 8 Very many groups of sizes 10 to 30, seen along beach of ocean. Area along beach referred to was from Button Monor to Construction Camp theater. July 17 Pitt Point, Alaska Old squaws have not been too numerous here but an occasionally seen in small groups out on the Tundra. July 19 Four groups of old squaw seen flying east very low along the coast today. The groups numbered 7, 7, 4 and 4. It has been a very foggy day today. Aug 8 Cape Simpson, Alaska About two dozen seen on large flat water pond just west of the site.
