Have not yet mentioned lemmings, brown ones all over the tundra and beacher burrows everywher; I killed one yesterday skin ruined but I saved skull. Arctic ground squirrels here too.

I'm watching the cliffs of pinnacles above as and finally spot a raven at a particular spot and know there's a nest. While I'm looking through Win finds another golden plover nest only this must be fulva and the other dominica
