June 5 Anchitka Island Alaska (cont)
One of the nestlings of nest 6 had fallen from
the nest since I last visited it & was dead for
at least 2 days before today's visit (judging from
its lag in development behind those still in the
nest + alive) & yet it was in excellent shape &
was picked (# 326).
The Rosy Finch nests C+D used by Charley
will be described here & numbered into my sequence.
Rosy Finch nest (38) (Charleys # 3 or C) is located
on a rafter, 8ft.
or the center of [illegible] a frame
shower building located NE of nest 4 & of
North Hangar. Nest now contains 2 young.
Rosy Finch nest (39) (Charleys # 4 or D) is on a
shelf 5 ft above the floor in a gunset attached
to a large frame structure a short ways north
or NW of [illegible] nest 38. Nest now contains 3
young.
June 6 Anchitka Island, Alaska
Breakfast at 7:10AM, then drove to Grawman Lake.
where we saw a Tufted Duck & several other
species (see Table).
Census Wet Meadow plots: Lapland Longspur -
at least 3 pair on plots, Rosy Finch, Common Teal -
1 pair Located a Rosy Finch nest in a
gunset hut (shelf 5 1/2 ft up). [illegible] Four
young were
flying about the gunset and I suspect one others were outside judging by the chirping sounds outside.
