Journal 9 May 15 Anchitka Island Alaska (cont.) Cystopteris, Mimulus, Streptopus, Carex, & Calamagrostis. Plots are along Bridge Creek. 10 acres. 4. Beach Ridge A grassy transition between beach & tundra. Plants - Elymus arenarius, Senecio pseudoarniug, & Honckeya peploides. Plots - 4 1/2 acres sticking out along 1872 ft of shoreline on Rifle Range Point. [Notes for remainder of May 15 & also for 16-19 were made from very sketchy notes & were written at a much later date. See Charles Yarbrough notes for details.] Big Lake Visited Gull nesting area on the west side of this lake. Charly had found several nest sites previously, one of these contained 3 eggs on May 12 & again today. It was located 100 yds from the lake shore & out of sight but, near a small marshy pond. The nest is a very shallow wide cup (really just a depression) in the tundra. Eggs are olive green spotted with large irregular dark-red-brown spots. This blend very dark well with the tundra background and are not at all easy to spot. We found one other nest 50 ft. away & 2 more nearer Big Lake. See
