R.E. Johnson 1968 Journal July 13 Anchither Island, Alaska Gramman Lake Census Greater Scaup 10♂, (♀+2yrng), (♀+8yrng. R.T. Loon -1 C. Teal -1pairs Parractic Jaegers - 2 dark phase Flew over Rosy Finch - pair on no. shore. Lapland Longspur - collected 3♂ from no. shore. Rock Sandgiper - Very common, perch on roof- tops and act "concerned" over the presence of humans in the area. Often see 3-5 adults at once on a roof or encircling me in the meadow. Checked Longspur nest at the Riparian plots. Drove 1.6 miles beyond Bridge Creek toward site C & turned right into an old quarry, following this rd to the far end of the quarry. Parked the truck & followed snow track marks out the end of the quarry & then to the right down slightly & then up again. Here I located the Rock Ptarmigan nest Leroy Sowl had told me about. It is just to the right of the right track rut & partially hidden by large cow parsnip leaves. It contained 14 tan eggs that were densely speckled with dark brown spots. I flushed the ♀ when it was standing 8 ft away. It allowed Leroy to approach much closer.
