Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 June 12 Anchitha Island, Alaska (cont.) Dr. Johnston weighed the birds in nests 16, & 15. We saw Bob off on the Reeve Alutian Airways Flight for Anchorage at 2 PM, then back to work. Dr. Johnston & I visited the gull nests south of New Camp. He measured body temperatures of young at 3 minute intervals in nests 11a & 12. Nest 11a had a very newly hatched wet nestling. Nest 12 had a newly hatched but dry nestling & it could nearly temperature regulate already. The wet bird did less well as would be expected. Newborn dry nestlings have a thick fluffy coat of down. It was discovered that 2 nests had previously been numbered 11 so they are now 11 & 11a. In addition to the 18 nests found on June 8, we found 11 more nests today. The nests are summarized on a separate sheet by date & individual nest & are summarized here as to timing of nesting, hatching, etc. Nest Condition # of Nests 1 egg 3 2 eggs 3 3 eggs 19 1 young 1 2 young 1 2 eggs, 1 young 2
