MacLean 1968 Journal 20 May Eagle Creek, Alaska Out at 3:45 A.M. in what looked like another warm day. Left my jacket behind and later regretted it. Walked up the road to Eagle Summit and climbed (now christened) Puzzlement Hill. Saw and heard no surfbirds. Walked out ridge running NE from the hill and found surfbird activity there. Spent the morning watching this, then returned to Puzzlement Hill. Still no ship, too cold with no jacket to return via the ridge route, so I walked back on the road watching territory No. 4 road for surfbirds and counting ptarmigan. Returned to write some letters, then rode to Miller House to mail three and buy some supplies. This is a roadhouse operated by an amazingly spry old couple - the man is 91 and the woman not far behind. Saw Canada jays there - nothing else news. Drove on up the valley to Central to have our spare repaired. Watched for grouse along the road, but no luck. Returned for dinner and notes. New bird: tree swallows - seen from Puzzlement Hill. More wheatears displaying. Found a pair of poached ptarmigan along the road just above
