Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 May 16 Amchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) Walked a stretch of sea coast (rocky, little "beach") east & west of G.F. Cove. Winter Wrens were common so collected one since Kenyon indicates that there is now some question as to the race present. Apparently the original race was wiped out by rats & later a specimen of another race was collected. Which of the 2 races is now present in such large numbers? Species recorded: European Widgeon - one nw of Makarius Pt. Greater Scaup - Clavenger Lake Common Teal - Clavenger Lake Bufflehead - Clavenger Lake Red-throated Loon - Clavenger Lake Bar-tailed Godwit - Makarius Bay - flock Mallard - Makarius Bay Pintail - nw of Makarius Pt. Bald Eagle - Makarius Bay or sea stacks May 17 Amchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) Censused the Wet Meadow, Riparian, & Upland Tundra plots.
