Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 56 22 July (cont.) Spent the AM in the lab. Steve was interviewing 2 people from the state (Boyds - John Hyebers). We plan to run transects this afternoon. 1330 Steve, the Boyds (Mr & Mrs) - and I left for Central Marsh to run at least 2 (each) transects. On the way we looked at a Snowy Owl which the Boyds had wished to see. It is windy and chilly ~36°F. Steve and each ran two transects. Our closing point was not too good this time, but not far off - about 100 meters aso. We returned to the wessel at 1630 and then came back to the lab. 23 July Did transects with Steve in the AM over by Booth Creek area. We returned at noon. I helped Tom bring in his A & B in the PM. 1730 Steve and I went to micro wet area to run some transects. I went due south and he west. I took 16 soil samples along the shore of N Meadow Lake while Steve completed a short line between the lakes. It is windy - from NW, and cold at 34°F. We completed our transect work and returned to the lab. Noticed on the way in that the wind had blown off one of Steve's nets on the top of his wind net system.
