145 Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 July 4 Amchitka Island, Alaska additional nests. Based on observations today I would guess that nesting of both species of tern in the southern corner of the island (Makarios Pt + vicinity) is seasonally ahead of that at [illegible] Rifle Range. Only six Arctic Terns were seen flying above at the Arctic Tern colony at one time & usually there about was one or two. On June 18 there were 16 seen continuously while I was in the area. Similarly at the Aleutian Tern colony today the maximum number of birds was five (3 were Arctic Terns) and Dr Johnston had seen 25. Whereas at Rifle Range a sizeable group of terns still congregates over the area when I cross it(20 on July 2) & a few nests are still active.
