Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 54 2/July. 0830 Steve M. and I rode with Tom out to the FAA buildings area to run habitat lines. We started on an E.-W. line from "Keny Bucket bog" to a point mid-way (on the west side of the road) between the bank ridge and the road. Then, we headed south to complete another kilometer transect. We then split up, Steve going to finish the first line on the East side of Keny bucket and then head south - I took the east line closing the square and Tom turned north to meet Steve midway on the line to close off the east side of the square. This took until noon. We closed within one meter on the last line. Tom C. arrived to pick us up while we were still working on the line so he took feeding observations for several Redbills and the dike in the area. 1300 Steve and I cleaned and re-zipped the study boards, then gathered material for doing vacuum sampling, can trap collections and establishing new can traps at Salt Marsh, rod samples and re-establishing of the wind set. After getting all this gear together, we left at 1420 for line T. On the way, the measel broke a "boggy" so that had to be fixed before we could go on. We vacuum sampled while we waited. The wind is from the west.
