May 28 Anchitka Island, Alaska (cont.)
rosy Finch
On the 27th, 4 nests were found (#'s 23-26)
while areas A & the north part of B were checked.
Today I checked 14 more buildings in the NW corner
of B & none had nests. One new nest was # [illegible]
found however in the Officers Club building
just north of area B. This nest was near a
window where the wall meets the roof rafters is
is located 8 ft above the floor. It contained
1 egg & 3 young. There were several old nests
in the same building. Charlie also visited the
building later on & felt there [was a nest]
[illegible] in
the opposite end of the building (the largest bldg we've
checked) because he appeared to flush a bird
from that area. If so this would be the 1st
case of 2 in one building but not too startling
considering the size & rambling nature of the
building.
