Journal 123 K.E. Johnson 1968 June 25 Anchutka Island, Alaska (cont.) (1.9 min trip). The first two intervals (see Table) were excluded since they were longer than the rest & immediately followed my visit to the nest. The male never accompanied her to the nest but was usually singing somewhere in the vicinity of where the ♀ foraged. I did not determine if she always selected to forage in a location near the male, but this could easily be determined. June 26 Amchitka Island, Alaska Bob, Dave & I took the Boston Whaler out from north Constantine Harbor, to Bat Island. Cliffs ring the island except the seaward side & the top is talk covered with Elymus grass. No birds were seen in the central part of the Elymus top, but puffin burrows ring the edges of the Elymus at the cliff tops. However it was not always possible to tell rat from puffin burrow. On two different occasions a puffin was seen flying from [illegible] a burrow. When we 1st arrived many puffins were flying wide circles from the cliffs out over the sea back. These departed while we were present but returned as we left. All were Tufted Puffins. A dead baby sea otter was found at one burrow entrance. It was chewed in half suggesting it was eaten by rats. At another was the synecdrum of some bird of puffin size.
