Journal 48 R.E. Johnson 1968 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. Rosy Finch A Nests with eggs that were discovered on previous days were rechecked to determine if hatch occurred. Results are as follow: Nest# 3 Eggs 4 Young 2:45 PM ♀ off 4 4 2:48 PM ♀ flushed (2 day olds) 5 4 2:58 ♀ off 7 4 3:06 ♀ on 8 1 4 3:12 ♀ on 10 5 3:20 ♀ on cold Abandon? 11 5 3:30 ♀ off.
