July 6.
Anauluka Island, Alaska
Beyond this point. Neither location
is conspicuous from anywhere but
directly above. The "active" eyrie
can be seen from the hill with the pole
because it overlooks the nest but from
20 ft downslope below the nest you'd
never notice it.
July 7
Anauluka Island, Alaska
Sunday - slept in.
Checked Pump House Lake:
G. Scamp 8♂, 1♀, 1?
C. Teal 7♂, 1♀ + 1 chick
Mallard - 1?
Lots! Drove up the island toward the west end &
parked near where I had parked a week ago when
I found the 2 Snow Bunting nests. He biked me
to Chitka Cove while I biked down creek SW to
the Pacific Ocean. Near the truck on the tundra
I found a small but very agile young Rock
Sandpiper & an excited attending adult. The adult
tried to lead me away. The young bird squatted down &
"froze". I picked it up & set it down again & then it
ran, on long spindly legs (for such a tiny body). Lapland
Longspur & Rock Sandpipers were common along the
creek drainage. Where the creek enters the sea there
were 3 Common Teal (♂).
Several Rose Finches & a Winter
Wren could be [illegible] heard. To the right an Eagle
