(2 hr. time you charge)
in Anchorage. Jerry Wolff & his wife Maureen
met me at the airport. Stayed at their home.
July 23
Steve West, Jerry, & I went to their study area N. 1/4 Fairbanks at the Wickiup Creek Burn (1971).
Went with Steve on his trap line. He had ~5
clothiering netlines on his northern grid &
4 C.V. & 4 Microlite decoy lines on his trap grid.
Then Jerry showed me and his students
how to set a plot. Took some photos including
2 of a large red squirrel hidden. While on
Jerry's grid, a heavy rainstorm hit & continued
about a hour. We got pretty wet before we ran to
a fish camp & looked in for shelter. The only birds
seen were Gray Jays, St. Columbine Jaycross, & 2
flocks of miniducks flying over.
We returned to Fairbanks after eating a brief
lunch & visited at Jerry & Steve's Office
(Dep't of Forestry) & at the Dept. of Arctic Bot.
Chatted also with Dave Klein, head of Alaska Corp.
Wildlife Unit. Met Dave Strigal of the Univ. of
Alaska, who has a student working on vegetation -
horn instructions. Also talked to Gerry Stewart in B.O.E., Billy.
Dinner at Wolff's home.
