Each contained 3 eggs. The location is directly south (by compass reading) from the White House & New Camp nearly to the shoreline where there are many large lakes close together. A road leads from the water settling plant to this area. The nests were nearly all on rich- crowberry-grass tundra and were either on high high points (ridges separating lakes) or close to the waters edge. Nest contents: Nest contents: # of nests 1 egg 1 2 eggs 2 3 eggs 12 1 young 1 1 young + 1 egg 1 Dr. Johnston & Bob weighed the ringfinches in nests 16 & 15 & found one nearly dead nestling crawling about outside nest 16. It was 9 days old & weighed 25.0 grams. I later pickled it (# 342). They also drove out to Omega Point. After supper we drove down to the Gull nest area & saw 2 Northern Phalaropes on a small pond & a duck nest (Pintail) with 7 eggs in a grass nest beside the road near its terminus at a wooden frame bldg.
