M. Brock 1957 Glaucons-winged Gull Larus glaucescens A.R.H. Pt. Barrow, Alaska May 27 First seen today while arriving at Barrow. A group of 3-5 were seen flying over the Pt. Barrow area. May 28 A group of about 15-20 were seen sitting and standing beyond the camp area, just south of the construction camp areas were A.R.H is located. As pointed out by Maketa all were located not on the tundra but rather on the surface of the frozen lake near our camp and also that all of the birds were adults May 30 A congregation of about 40-50 gulls observed on the ground and in the air immediately south of the A.R.H. Upon investigation, nothing I could find no reason for their gathering there.
