Journal 52 R.E.Johnson 1968 May 30 Anchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) The female flushed from 4 eggs. Data for areas A & B will be summarized at the end of todays notes. I returned to camp & obtained my bird bands & then banded young in nests # 24, 29, 30, 32. One young in nest 24 kept crawling out of the nest & it finally fell to the floor below & broke its leg. I took him to camp & pickled him in 70% alcohol (specimen # 311). Charley Yarborough had also lost 2 young in a nest he was studying (died on the 29th) & he brought them to me today. One was in poor shape & [illegible] was discarded. The other became # 312 (in alcohol). I also collected a female Lapland Longspur to determine her reproductive condition since they don't appear to be nest building yet on our plots. I expected some activity before now. She had an active but small ovary with now growing ova & no brood patch. She was paired but I couldn't obtain the male. Censused Jones Lake today for the first time in a week. There were fewer Greater Scaup & Bufflehead than usual & no Tufted Ducks. See Table on Jones lake for details. Checked [illegible] nest 3 and found the eggs had hatched! I had expected they had abandoned the nest.
