The nest was in an extensive slope area of Crowberry (Empetrum nigrum) sloping into a gully leading toward Silver Salmon Lake. This is the 1st nest we've located of the Longspur & indicates that we are catching the nestings just at the right time. We'll probably concentrate on these plots so as to be sure to get detailed data on all phase of Longspur nesting & ecology. Censused Silver Salmon Lake (see Table) Censused the Riparian Meadow plots: Lapland Longspurs, Rock Ptarmigan, Tern sp. (one), Parasitic Jaeger (one, dark phase, overhead). Next walked the coast SE to the Bald Eagle nest. Adults were near & squawking. I couldn't see the young in the nest but Charley & I had seen downy young in it on May 15. They are no doubt still present but hidden from view by all the food items stacked on the nest edge. Noted 3♂+1♀ Pintail, 1 pair of Mallards, 1 ♂ Common Teal, & a pair of Oystercatchers along the shoreline. Returned to the track over the tundra (cross country) and then drove back for lunch. In the PM we weighed the ruddy finches in
