169 Journal R.E-Johnson 1968 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
