R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal 154 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
