July 4 Amelutka Island, Alaska (cont.)
at least 40 adult birds at all times.
They circled & complained overhead &
occasionally dove upon me as I
walked around 3 of these ponds:
(1 foot long)
large pond - 4 large, but downy
young hiding under overhanging
pond banks.
small pond - 1 large young as
above.
small weedy pond - 1, Common Teal,
South of the road there were fewer disturbed
gulls flying over my head, perhaps 15-20. One
small pond had 2 medium [8 inch] sized young under
banks. Another pond had a Red-throated Loon,
with 1 young. A third pond had a pair of
Red-throated Loons. A light phase Parasite
Jaegers flew over the area.
Gulls dot the landscape in all directions,
nearly every hummock in sight. The colony is
probably of the same order of magnitude as the one
south of New Camp where we found 28 nests.
Grauman Lake Census
Greater Scamp - 10 ♂
Common Loon - 1
Officers Club
Rosy Finches
no new nests of rosy finches in the sites of
nests 27 & 37. Four adults chirped on roof.
