Notes on the Summer Birds of the Upper Yukon Region, Alaska
Blackwelder E. 1919. Notes on the Summer Birds of the Upper Yukon Region, Alaska. The Auk. 36(1):57-64
From introductory paragraph: "In the summer of 1915 I made a journey to that part of eastern Alaska lying south and southwest of the Yukon River, and northeast of the Tanana. Although the object of the trip was geological, the birds were given such attention as opportunity permitted. Not being properly equipped for collecting specimens, my chief reliance for identification was a ten power Terlux binocular glass. The route traversed was along the Yukon River from White Horse in Yukon territory to Circle, thence westward across the mountains to the White Mountain range near the head of Beaver Creek. We descended Beaver Creek to the Yukon Flats and emerged upon the Yukon itself near Beaver village- about seventy miles below Ft . Yukon. From that point we returned up the river as we came."
