143 Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 July 4 Amchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) Lapland Longspur - one big juvenile with a short tail flew up hill from a fence top to the hill above. Quarry nw of Jones Lakes Lapland Longspur - 2 bather in shallow puddle. another (?) seen carrying food in her bill. Snow Bunting - 20, 1 ? seen. One chased the other out of the quarry. Rosy Finch - several juvs. One was banded (Blue-Yellow Lt. - from nest 35) & was with at least 2 others that were not banded. This location is about ½ mile from its nest site. Arctic Tern Colony (see June 18) (1.1 mi. e & 0.1 mi. n. of Makarius Pt.) Revisited the colony site. No active nests found & all previous ones that were relocated (8 of 9 had red flagging & 7 of the 8 were found) were now empty. Two eggshells were found in one & an eggshell was near another. Measured distances between nests to contrast with the two Aleutian Tern colonies. One of the 2 not located nest fell within the existing figure constructed below & one other nest fell outside this probably by 50 ft. Spacings of in this Arctic Tern colony are similar to those
