F.M. Brock 1958 Arctic Tern June 27 Atkausuk, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska A nest was discovered on a small mossy island about 200 feet from the shore of a pond about a half mile SE of transects VII and VIII. About 200 feet from this nest was the nest of a Sabine gull (see space account). The tern's nest was very much like the gulls' nest, consisting of a depression in the mossy island and lined with a few blades of grass. The nest had one small greenish egg spotted with brown. In contrast to the Sabine gulls' action, the tern flew about high above me not voicing any complaint while I looked at its nest. Within the area were northern and red phalaropes, oldsquaws, dowitchers, golden plovers and small sandpipers (either Baird's or semi-palmated). July 17 Pitt Point, Alaska Tern nest found on island (about 150'x50') in a lake about four miles SW of Pitt Point or else about five miles east of Drew Point. This island was also occupied by 20 Sabine gull nests (see space account) and one Pacific loon nest. The large island was surrounded by deep (perhaps 10") grassy water extending out about 200
