Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 May 30 Anchutka Island, Alaska (cont) 1/4 of these (ie, the 20% figure) were current nests. Therefore it seems most likely that food is the limiting factor & that the areas differ in this regard. Nesting appears to be earlier in areas A+B than in the south Flambier area. May 31. Anchutka Island, Alaska Checked nests with eggs (# 4, 7, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, 22, 33) for hatch. Hatch occurred in 7, 10, 11, 16, 17, 18, & 22.
