TOPOGRIJBY AhD CLIMATE

The Innoko River is a tributary of the llower Yukon River1

middot entering from the douth-east across from the village ot HolT Cross middot

about 300 mUea above the Iukonbulls mouth It has its source 1n the

Kuckolnr11n Mts just west or McGrath on the Kuskokwim Rivar and on

its headwaters are located tha wall knoWll placer gold fielda of which

Opldr is the principal camp A similar placer mining arca surrounding

the village of Flat about lO miles to the southwest is drained by the

Iditarod River which joins tht Inloko about 160 miles above its nouth

Both of these rivers and the middotseveral other tributary streams ol the

Innoko are vcr-r devious 1n tlwir winding eourses and many miles are

often covered by river between two

points but a short airline disshy

ta1ce apart Aa an er~le oft his the headwaters ot th-3 Iditarod

River may be reached by an overland journ0y ot less than 50 miles

from the mouth or the llmrJko1 while a journey by boat will cover ovej

400 lliles or middotriver in reaching the same apot Likewise while the

iUrllne distnce rom the hcruhmters or tha Innoko to its mouth is

less than 150 miles the inderect course and man1 wlndinga of the

river make the actual mileage by water at least fo~ times that disshy

tance Figure l shows the location of the Innoko -iver in Alaska

and Figure 2 presents a more detailed map of the rtlgion

Although the mountains or its suurce rise to middot Ogtver 4000 feet

altitude most of ths area traversed by the Innako River is extremely

flat and the few low hills and ridges which bordel the river in some

ampyen

IIIII places are usually under lOOO eet in middotheight The terrain in general I-I

ia typieU or interior Alaska in its contours and voget~tive cover IIIII

Being a river valley region it is well covered with the charaa~erist~

spruce-birch foroat or the interior in which stands are light and

Jbull ttbullees comparativeq small and scattered with lmite spruce on the

better sites black spruce on the wet swampy flats and cottonwood ~ aspen birch and willows along the river bottcms and burns ae well

11 as in mixture with the spruce lhere are extensive untorested areas I

interspersed throughout wherever wet tundra flats mark ancient lake beds

I I or where drier tundra clothes rocky heights ard exposed ridges

The composition of the tundra itselt varies ldth the site but in

general the wettor types are composed chiefly of cotton sedges low or

bog shrubs lichens and rnossca while the dryer typos consist chief]J

of the larger shrubs grassesgt weeds and black sedges

~olikachIJIk a smPJl village ill a representative location about llO

miles up the lnnoko River the break-up or the river ice generally

occurs during the middle of fJaY1 with the freeze-up coming in lata

October Table l presents a tenbullyear record o these dates as officially

J compiled by the us Weather Bureau

A recurrent feature o the spring brak-up throghout the entire

Yukon valle7 is the high water which uaually prevalls in the river and

its tributaries for the first few ~reeks following the uovement ot the m

ice As this is an ampllilual occurrence- it rtJay rightly be considered a

m common teature opound the environllent met bt waterfowl and other birde

returning to their northern breeding grounds Duriug the ~pring of

1948 however an abnormal coudimiddottion of high water prevailed over the

I I Tbat thla condition wae widespimiddotead over the Yukon valley is

corfirmed by the aerious floods that oectaTed in llcltImma and Fairbanks

the ~irbats Flood Re122tl for Mal 12~ in the tUes of ths Us

I I Weather Bureau

The flood was brought about by tle unus~ weather which prevailed over Interior Alasllta during the month of April At Fairbanks the anowfall or the month measured

251 inches middotwhich enou~ted to ~30 inches ot water when melted Normal precipitation for April is Oo2S inches and the greatest amount ever before measured in AprU during the 43 years that records have been kept was 098 inches

April was also much colder than normal bull bull bull There l1fCS practically no tmiddotharing weather until the last tew days of the month Ordinarily during the month although temshyperatures may remain bolo1 freezing some of the snow wUJ disappear through the process or aublination 1he constant cloudy weather t hi~ yev made t h~t impo~sible eo the maxilrum depth of snow was still on the ground at the close of the month

entirely to reconnaisance wod in order to thoroughly cover tha entire

J and a large proportion of them llrere pairs with broods Apparently

these pairs had nestedon the high tundra flats bordering the rivers d

and had brought their broods down to tho rivers after hatching In the Iditarod

region ot thejflata however and in the adjacent areae a pair

with a brood was seldom seen Instead_ large concentrations of adult t

D geese oiten numbering 300 or more in a group were found during their

flightless period on the large lakes and tributnry streams It ia

I a recognized that this congregating during the flightless period is a

co~n occurrance and it is realized that many of the geese in

the area were perhaps first-year non-breeden But in spite of this

I sight records indi~ated that not more than one pair of geese in

every thirty observed had a brood and this is thought to be a greater

I than normal disparity In addition many natives and local residents

stated that it was uncmmon to find such llrge numbers ot adult goose

together ~~thout broods 1be fact that some broods were seen in

I these groups and that a larger proportion of breeds appeared in the

groups in the areas ot higher ~-round would eem to indicate that it was

some actor peculiar to the area and rather than the habits ot the geese

which caused this condition It would have been very possible for

D It was lmfortunate that went his project was begun early

in Juoe ~middotthe supply of bands available ill the territocy wasImiddot somftlbat limited The initial issue to the tield party consisted

ot a tew hDldred size 7 bands less than a huldred size 6 lltld aI

few other assorted sizes too large or too small for use with tho

~~middot watertowl In July1 when the banding was approaching its peak

an additional supply ot sizo 6 and 7 banda lgt~ere made available to

I the field party trom a middotlimited stock which was intended tor use in

I other possible banding activities elsewhere The total nmnber

received 1n sizes 6 and 7 was about 7001 and of these lees than 300

were size 6 Under these circumstances there was no alternative LJt

to adapt the size 7 bands for use with ducks when the supp~ ot

I I middotsize 6 was exhausted rua was done by vecy caretully reducing

middot their size with a pair of side-cutting pliers and it is believed that

except tor some additional weight due to themiddot slight added thickness

I ot the band this procedure was quite successul and f1t1d not und~

handicap the birds The sale mettod was used in colverting the

I I size 6 bands to fit the smaller waterfowl

Two types ot pliers were used in mmlipulating he bands One was

the~ ordinary longlosed electricisns pliers which could be used bo th

I to openand clooe banda when handled with middotcare The other was a

pair ot especiAut made banding pliers which had two rounded knobs

I bull

I on the inaer side ot the hsndlea for use in spreading the ~anda

and a tapered openinamp 1nthe jaws for use in closing t~em By

placing pressure the closed band could be sectqueezed open with the

I handles

-IIIII

J This waa a vecy convenient method and worked well except that

therewas a tendency tor the knobs to produce a sharp curled ~v ridge or metal around he edge of the band which it not removed

I would cause damage tQ the birds legmiddot In closing tho bands1

neither typo ot pliersmiddot was vert successful and it is believed that

I I _the type with holes ot eaact band diameters drllled in the jal[rs is

tar more middot desireable ~

In handling large numbers of birds1 tho two-man team with one

I manmiddot holding themiddot bird and the other middotapplying the band worked very

vall It was found however that the entire process could be

With this method t he band and pliers tere made readT and tho bird

that the head under the wing rested next tot he banders body InI I

this ptlsition itmiddotlras tound that the bird would usually lie quietly

little interest was shown in anymiddot possible recovery of acQt tuture
