(25 May) white-crown by the cabin) are singing.
However.... Jerry has to go to Fairbanks
Monday as per note from Weeden and I
think I will pack up and go with him. If
the Uber is there and conditions are promising
I will return to try to record surfbirds; otherwise
I'll go on up to Barrow.
Spent the early morning working on my
overlap paper and redoing. [Note: I just
looked out of the window and saw a robin
go up under the roof of the cabin just to the
SW. Went over and located a nest with
4 eggs.] At 9:00 went down to lower camp
to get Dale and Sandy, and the ptarmigan
counters headed out toward Mastodon Dome.
Took the pickup to Eagle Summit. Spent the
rest of the morning watching 4 surfbirds there.
Found another new species - grey-crowned
rosy finch on steep talus slope on SO. side
of Puzzlement Hill.
Returned to camp to get out of the wind
while eating and writing notes. Went up again
later, but could not relocate the surfbirds.
Did find a pair of tame rock ptarmigan
and photographed there. Again saw rosy finches
there. Walked around the hill, then
had to hurry back to have truck for Dale
and Sandy to return to lower camp. the
