Journal R.E.Johnson 1968 July 3 Anchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) Table). Watch Lapland Longspur nest 3-6 on the wet tundra plots for about an hour (see below). The female did all the feeding of the young as before. Time spent at the nest was greatly decreased, averaging about 8 seconds per visit (range 4-10 seconds). For this reason only arrival times were recorded: 2:07 PM I arrive 2:12 2:15 2:20 removes white fecal sac 2:22½ 2:24½ removes fecal sac 2:27 2:28 2:29 2:32 2:36 2:37 2:39 2:40½ 2:42 removes fecal sac 2:46½ removes fecal sac 2:49 2:51 2:59 3:01 3:02 3:03½ 3:04½ 3:06½ 3:09 There were 23 visits in 57 minutes (not counting the last visit, so that there equal numbers of visits & intervals between them) or the visits were spaced 2.48 minutes apart on the average. Thus trips were made very rapidly & over a very short distance. I saw the female fly from the nest with a white fecal sac in her bill on four occasions
