July 4 Anchitka Island, Alaska
There appears to be a sizeable number of gulls along the road that most nearly approaches the Aleutian Tern colony on Makarini Pt. I saw one large young scuttle across the road as I drove up the road. Many gulls "escort" the track through the area & some even dive upon it.
There are a number ponds on either side of this road. I've never looked for nests here but there obviously must be some - surely over a dozen, judging from the number of obvious adults.
Earlier (June 17) I located 2 gull nests beside a pond near this area & which is probably the nw. end of this concentration of gulls.
Dave Nordmeyer reported seeing a pair of Common Loons on a lake in the "lake country" located 1.4 mi. w & 0.8 mi. s. of where Bridge Creek crosses Infantry Road.
