Lemmus
25 July Barrow, Alaska
predation is still quite high.
26 July Skrooville, Alaska
Lemminings appear to be quite common with vicinity / my census plot. Areas there
have a topography such that they are troughs, I moderate depth
which have accumulated a pile of dead-cut grass. In the
grown lays, there are numerous holes and runways - in fact the
areas appear riddled. It was
possible today to walk through these troughs and scare up
many juvenile lemmings + several
adults. This was especially
true at the southern half of
the plot (Stuber 10.0-25.0).
In other locales, this abundance
was not noted, but also, these
other areas were not walked
through.
29 July Barrow, Alaska
No lemmings nests were
found at the moose This
afternoon + none have been
reported (excerpt by J.R. - see Reynolds notes).
