hemmus trivirgatus
18 June Barrow, Alaska
Fs are a lot more conspicuous now than earlier
in the season. Their scream lacks the wheezy
quality of a F.
19 June (They are migrating towards the sea) Two were
seen on the gravel along the NE end of Family hoggon
and then were more in this area between 04.5. Salt
hoggon than usual, although this species is far from
numerous there, pop only 1/8 to 1/4 that on the Beach
ridge.
20 June No change from yesterday. Saw 2 chases between
Larimnets and kills by Targe, Sawrey Owl and
Least Weasel. See the latter.
21 June Saw one in Athll this noon and they are increasingly
conspicuous near Button's Area due to the increase
in melt. Saw 4-6 chases and found an animal
in a Burrow that had really been in a scrap as
the lower jaw was broken. It sounded off when
I was 6 feet away instead of often I had almost
stepped on it as they usually do. Peacefully stepped on
two.
22 June Hemming very active on the surface near Elson hoggon.
Two near each other clapped each other on the face, then
one ran around the other and they copulated briefly. The
female ran off about 3 feet & this was repeated 3-5 times
lots of clairing now, and hemming are fairly vocal.
