R.E. Johnson 1968 June 20 Anchither Island, Alaska (cont.) Prepared specimens all afternoon. After dinner checked rosy finch nests 3, 33, 49. Then drove to Bridge Creek to check the nest 2-1 found on June 17 & it is now empty (had 5 eggs) meaning it was destroyed. The nearby vegetation has been tramped down excessively by some two legged beast! Checked the Lapland Longspur nest opposite the Masonic Club & it contained 5 warm eggs at 8:10 PM. Drove about exploring and located fledged a Rock Sandpiper with 2 or more young. Very cute little birds. They crouched & remained stationary while the female performed a broken wing act & scuttled away from me rapidly several times trying to lead me away. In the process I found a Longspur LN on a nest with 4 eggs in a deep cup under a cow lined with ptarmigan feathers parsonip at 9:28 PM. It appears that they choose sites under parsnip rather regularly (at least 3 of our nests out of 11 are so located). Prepared another specimen & hit the sea. Dave Nordmeier told us of a Greater Scaup nest on Silver Salmon Creek near stake 11. 8 Eggs. June 21 Anchuthus Island, Alaska Up late. Make minor repairs on truck. Then out to visit the Longspur nest I found last night. The q was off (perhaps due to the approach of the trucks) at 10:45 AM but returned at 10:58 AM. While off the nest she fed on the ground near the nest with the male. Hester flew off, however, to chase a Journal 108
