1968
July 5 Amchitka Island, Alaska
Saw 3 Parasitic Jaegers flying inland over Bridge Creek at 10:00 AM. (all dark phase).
Grossman Lake Census
Common Teal 10\u27a1
Red-throated Loon - 1
Greater Scaup 80\u27a1
Kirilof Point Gull colony
KP3 - 2 chicks, each hiding a foot from nest
KP6 - 3 eggs (warm)
An adult gull was seen carrying nest material as I approached the area.
Two dead 9 inch young were found north of the known nest area.
Kirilof Point - Rosy Finches - 12:30 PM
3 young (unbanded) + 2 adults were seen along the road which is lined with old planes. Adults left the young to collect food, then returned to feed young which fluttered their wings in begging posture). These are full sized juves. One wonders how long they are dependant on the adults especially if renesting occurs here?? I observed no attempt by the young to sample foods for themselves.
Another group of adults + young
