27 June Pitwagea River, Cape Sabine Alaska Non resident in the area anyway. A badly molting Arctic Fox passed thru the herd from Owl Ridge, observed but ignored by the caribou. It as soon as reached 2nd Ridge when it was attacked and chased out of sight by another fox with a more nearly complete brown summer pelage. Godwits and Golden Plover were active in scolding caribou which apparently came too near nest or young. 1545 herd now around me. About 100? Earlier they were mainly males. The molt is starting. Muzzles are black and hair falling in many places. May more now - 500-1000. 2 fawns seen. one? , 3 fawn/10?. One empty bell. Ram now. Impossible to count now too many. 3 more fawns. Fawns abundant now, every small group has one or two. Fawn trying to jump on rear for ride? One courting badly. May fawns now. Much belching and flatulence. Fawns give a bleat-like call for mother & grunt in return. Much gas expelled as they go down off ridge. May shot taken at 20 ft. Knot flew over.
