Journal 50 R.E. Johnson 1968 May 28 Anchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) checked it once and found the same thing. He watched from a distance & noted 2 (?) adults within ear shot but none near the nest or interested in his presence. May 29 Amchitka Island, Alaska Again the nests with eggs were checked to see if any had hatched. These nests were #'s 7, 10, 11, 14, 15, 16, 18, & 22. Four of the five eggs in Nest 15 have hatched since the previous day. Charley Yarbrough is going to weigh these daily to determine a growth curve to go with his temperature data. None of the other nests had eggs hatch. I examined 11 quanset huts & one other building 1/2 mile east of North Hanger on Engineers Rd and located one nest rosy finch nest (28) on the middle shelf of a set of three, only 3 1/2 ft above the floor. There was some nest material on each of the other shelves. The female was on the nest of 5 small young. The building was a quanset hut attached to two other quansets. Returned again to the area north of Old Camp and examined 8 more quansets & one other building and located 2 more nests in area B. Rosy Finch nest (29) contained 4 large young (the oldest I've seen) with feathers (primaries) breaking the sheaths. The nest was on a shelf 5 1/2 ft up in
