Snow Bunting
June 4 Barrow, Alaska
Yesterday I arrived at Barrow and
today was the first day to make any
observations. On a trip to the gas well
and one mile south snow buntings,
longspurs, glaucous gulls, red-backed
sandpipers and two pomarine jaegers were
the only birds seen.
June 10 Wainwright, Alaska
A nest was found in an old house.
The nest contained only one egg,
July 6 Barrow Alaska
A nest, with six large young in it,
[illegible] found in back of ARK building.
Actually one of the young had fallen out
of the nest, which is located by a barrel four
feet off of the ground.
July 17 Pitt Point, Alaska
Of the few birds present at Pitt Point,
snow buntings seem to be most abundant.
There seems to have been a good hatch of
young since many have been seen
in the last few days flying about camp.
