Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 June 18 Amchitka Island, Alaska (cont) tell me when I was getting “warm”, however. Two Aleutian Terns passed over & circled briefly, giving their distinctive call, then flew on southeast. The largest number of Arctic Terns seen at one time was 16 overhead. They actively pursued Gulls flying into the vicinity of the nests & drove them from the area. Two Parasitic Jaegers drove a Bald Eagle west toward the coast. This took place south of the Tern colony & perhaps so. & E.V. of the Gull colony. Perhaps there is a Jaeger nest in that area. Meanwhile Dr. Johnston had gone to the area north of Makarius Point where I had seen Aleutian terns in the morning. He collected two adult birds & located two nests! I visited the area a little later & located a third nest: Nest Contents # Nests 1 egg 1 2 eggs 1 1 egg, 1 young 1/3 I saw 14 birds overhead at maximum but Dr. Johnston says he'd seen 25 during his longer sojourn there. The setting of the nests appears identical to those that described for the Arctic Terns: dry hill top & south slope, almost negligible nest depression & nest material, & very well camouflaged
