Journal R.E.Johnson 1968 July 15 Anchitka Island, Alaska object of Longspur size. I flew 100 yds & landed on a mound where it riped at the object for a short time then it flew 100 ft & landed in the middle of a shallow pond where it floated for several minutes. Occasionally it put its beak beneath the water (but not its face) & moved it vigorously. I was too far away to tell the nature of this movement. Finally it flew up & away in the distance. Examination of the mound showed that a bird had been the food item eaten. Most of the feathers were gray downy feathers, but there were also many brown flight feathers which were only half out of the sheaths and obviously still growing. This suggests that the bird was a young Lapland Longspur, perhaps newly fledged. [illegible] On the same mound I found wing parts (primaries & skeleton) of another bird from an earlier meal. Since there were also numerous gulls in the area, I can not be sure the Jaeger [illegible] was associated with the older food remains. The gulls became very excited as I crossed the tundra near the Jaeger but seemed to pay little attention to the Jaeger. Mason Lake Census Common Teal - 4 ?, 3 ? Scamp 1 ? Mallard - 3 ?
