R.E. Johnson 1968 72 Journal June 6 Anchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) Rock Sandpipers - 6♂, on rocks 100 yds off shore. Rosy Finches - single individuals common. Common Loon - 100-200 yds off shore. The first I've seen on Anchitka Is. A Sea Otter skeleton was found on the beach east of Rifle Range Point. Another large group of black ducks [Scoters?] were seen in Constantine Harbor. In the afternoon we picked up supplies from the warehouse and then I continued work on the rosie finches - collecting several adults, visiting nests, etc, while the others weighed rosie finches & took body temperatures. First I visited Charley's rosie finch nest 1 (or A). It was located in a frame bldy north of the Officers Club. The nest was on rafters 7½ ft above the floor. It now contains only 1 large nesting, which I collected (#329). I don't know the original clutch size as yet. No remembered this nest #42. I also collected both parent birds. He had full buccal sacs & a brood patch. Also collected another adult. I attempted to locate plants in the tundra that resemble those found in the buccal sacs & crop of rosie finches and which look like horsetail. Cliff Amundsen
