Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 53 19 July (cont.) then went to supper. 20 July Got up and ate. Moore was in the lab. Early no lunch notes. Steve came in at 0845 and we started on the sticky boards. I counted the # set. This took until noon. Steve has decided to run habitat analysis transects which will give an idea of the total area. Each transect is 1 kilometer long and currently planned are 42. 1330 Steve and I made ready to go. We chose at random to do a line from the north extremity of North Meadow Lake west to just south of Honey Bucket Logam. Dr. Pitelka, Steve, and I started the big by walking 5 meters (15 pace) and then making a habitat analysis in the same manner of a feeding observations. We took 100 points in this manner, each trying his hardest at it. The 5 paces was abandoned for 10 paces per case of sampling. We did 50 space points and completed the line at 1715. Steve and I planned to do 4 lines/day for the next six to complete the run. Notes of interest the way - Pitelka found a very young Lectoral(?) Sandpiper that was apparently abandoned. Dr. Pitelka collected it. The day was cold and windy. The wind was out of the west and the temp about 40°F. The sky was overcast to clear throughout the day.
