Rangifer
4 Jun Petroyea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska
Much bare soil was evident.
On the higher slopes lichens and
mosses were dominant with
scattered Cassioge, a "deep
snow" community (I wonder about this?).
With the brown-moss of the low
marshes and cottongrass with
no willows leafed out yet, it is
no wonder that the caribou are
staying on the upper slopes. Many
of the lichens are bright green
and appear very succulent. These
beasts there have beat hell out
of the Tundra around Cantor Mt.
5 Jun
14 headed up river from Cantor Mt. None
seen thru rest of the day
7 Jun Pete got 2 across the river thin on
8 Jun After running traps near a single across
the river lining. Pete shot with third
shot in the throat with two misses which
the animal never heard or moved. It ran
maybe 10 yards and dropped. We then
went over and got all 3.
#2706 had 35 Warbles mostly on them.
many of them appeared in the meat and
only a few in the skin. All were
small
