July 13 Amchitka Island, Alaska
Jones Lake Census
C. Teal 2♂, 1♀
C. Scamp 2♂, 1♀+7y
C. Goldeneye 3♂
Rosy Finch - collected 1 heavy (52.5gram) ♀ &
1 ♂ & 1 young (banded G& left). The
young was from nest 36 which is 0.7
miles from point of collection. The bird was
with several other young birds & the two
adults I collected plus at least 2 other
adults. The ♀ appears to be ready to
lay again since she has a brood patch
& is very heavy.
Lapland Longspur - collected 2 ♀ for Williamson
& both were very heavy (32.1, 32.2) & had
expanded cloacas & large brood patches
suggesting they are now laying! Are
these second nesting?? The 2 ♀'s
collected earlier this morning still had
brood patches but lacked expanded cloacas
& weighed much less (24.1 & 24.2 grams).
Winter Wren - one in the quarry where the
Rosy Finch & Longspurs mentioned above
were found.
Longspurs (cont.) - Several fledged young birds
