E. M. Brock Willow Bird 1957 Athasuk, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska June 14 A nest with one egg in it was found in the willows across the meadow opposite the mouth of the fresh water stream near the village, that was about one foot off the ground, built in among the willow marches. Appeared to be a rebuilt nest constructed of willow seed fiber and lined with carbon hair. The bird was not seen but the nest was still warm. Since the nest is located right to one of my transects (VI stack 9) I will probably collect the eggs when the clutch is completed. June 18 While setting out the trapline today I noticed that the egg was very cold and the nest moist from light rain - the nest is very likely abandoned now. June 19 While checking the trapline this morning, I collected the nest and its one egg. June 20 A female with a brood patch was caught in trap at stack 1, 4 in transect VI. It was later prepared as a study skin.
