Journal R.E.Johnson 1968 July 1 Anchitka Island, Alaska Rainy again & fairly low fog. Spent early morning checking on air transportation to Unimak & Cold Bay. Then Dave & Bob checked some Longspur nests while I checked area A & [illegible] an adjacent part B for Rosy Finch re-nesting. The bldg which contained nest 23 earlier in the season also had an old nest on the rafters. This nest was empty earlier but now contains 3 cool eggs! Perhaps a re-nest of the pair that nested in the bldg earlier. Three adult Rosy Finches & 7 or Lapland Longspurs were seen immediately adjacent to or on the Quonset formerly containing Rosy Finch nest 24. There was no indication of any new nesting inside this building. Three adults were seen near the long frame building in the south corner of area A (Set. with areas B & C) & they acted particularly disturbed when I explored the inside of the building. The building contains one old nest but I couldn't find any active one. The birds flew across the road into area C when I left the bldg. This bldg had not contained a nest earlier this season. In the afternoon [illegible] we drove to the Riparian & Wet Tundra plots to check the Longspur nests & to locate new ones. These data are summarized on the nest cards.
