E.M.Brock 1958 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.
