Journal R.E. Johnson 1968 May 22 Amchitka Island, Alaska (cont.) only twice from islands along the Bering Sea (attu Is.: Wilson, 1948; Condor, 50: 126-7; St. Paul Island: Evermann, 1913; Auk, 30: 17). It has also been reported from California (Peterson Field Guide). I believe the birds have been present for sometime & have gone unnoticed. I had noticed a tuft on the head of several birds on previous occasions, but hadn't realized the significance of the observation. I'd never heard of the Tufted Duck & mistook them for Greater Scalp. Actually there are several other differences to be noted but I didn't! The backs of the males are darker than in Scamp (more like Ring-necked Ducks) and the females lack the light markings around the bill. Neither Kenyon (1961; Auk, 78: 305-326) nor Krog (1953; Condor, 55: 299-304) reported this species from Amchitka. We also censused Clerenger Lake (see Table) Skimmal birds in the evening. May 23 Amchitka Island, Alaska Back to normal foggy weather + wind. Collected 3 Rosy Finches & prepared them) from Constantino Harbor. They were feeding along the shore area, mostly in the green vegetation zone just upslope from the rotten kelp & sandy beach, but also on algae covered rocks. I walked the entire sandy beach at the head of the harbor & saw a dozen Bar-tailed Godwits. Censused Jones Lake & discovered there were 13 Tufted Ducks in the lake, as well as Scamp & other species (see Table). Then
