Holmes,R 1960 Journal 29. 30 Jun Skerwold, Alaska in improving the south-60. Barrels were placed at stake 15, 20, + 25 on both sides of the plot, and the stakes inbetween were placed back into position. In the evening, a heavy fog settled in, which lowered visibility to less than two hundred feet. White rump activity was observed near the south end of the pond during the time. Also a strange + complete unknown bird (tom) was seen at the pond. It was a large goose which was standing at the pond edge with 2 olds squaws. The bird was at least three or four as the squaws with a long neck + a dark, goose-like beak. It wore all brown with no peculiar tail markings not visible seen (it was also seen flying). It was picked at by the squaws + later by two juncos. When I returned 15 minute later with a gun, the bird was gone. The only good possibility would be an immature white-fronted goose,
