RE: Johnson
June 25 Anchitha Island, Alaska (cont.)
were in Elymus grass. Mine was located
[illegible]
above the water. The ? was incubating.
There were 3 ? Mallards next to shore
in the core. Three adult Rosy Finches
were seen flying back & forth & one
was collected (#367). Thirty four
Harlequin Ducks were in 2 tight groups
in one core & slowly swam out as
we approached the area.
Charlie Core Cormorant colony
28+ nests were seen & contents of 17
of these could be seen either from
a rock top below or from the Elymus
crested cliff top above. These contained:
1 egg - 1 nest
3 eggs - 8 nests
4 eggs - 6 nests
young - 2 nests
17
All birds seen were Pelagic Cormorants
but one, which flew out from the cliff
when I got close. I do not know if
it had a nest.
