R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal 70 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.
