June 18 Anchitka Island, Alaska (cont.)
Each group had about 15 individuals.
Two were collected (362, 363).
Aleutian Tern - several fly among Arctic
Terns, yet are separate from them. They
seem to fly higher. White forehead, dark
bill & voice clearly observed.
Bald Eagle - 2 nests - each on a sea
stack & each with 2 young. I was
attacked by both adults but kept
them at bay [illegible] by raising my shot
gun straight above my head & keeping
it there.
Oystercatcher - 10 seen scattered in pairs
along the rocky parts of the coast.
Parasitic Jaeger - one light phase bird.
Mallard - one pair & 1 Drin [illegible] small bay.
Checked Ross Finch nests 10, 16, 49, 51. Then
examined the few buildings in area F (see map on
May 28). No nests but saw one unbanded
juvenile bird.
Returned to Makaries Point & walked toward
cast
The Gull colony (the one so. of New Camp) looking
for [illegible] Terns. Observations on Terns flying inland
