Journal 142 R.E. Johnson 1968 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.
