Lemmus trimucronatus
15 July Point Lay
Warren and his wife said the
last time there were lots of voles
here was 4-5 years ago, when they
were caught in late winter spring
for traps. There were lots of "mice"
that year too. During 2 hours of
travel over tundra in weasel this
afternoon not one microtus was
seen. No evidence of recent "high"
activity either as at Barrow for
instance.
The general terrain and vegetation
here is close to that at Warrenweight
and is much more complex than the
Barrow site area. Along the river
there are some knee-high stands of
willows. The jaegers seen in this area
seem to be more closely associated with
the rivers and not primarily with the
tundra community.
