Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 60 29 July (cont.) field this afternoon. 1330 Left for Central Marsh to take soil samples, pond edge samples for large red chironomids and take feeding observations. The sky is overcast but not low. A cold wind from the NE is blowing about 15-20 MPH. We walked east toward Clear Lagoon out on Kelms Morris looking for a flower that could have young that we could catch for Steve's needs in his rainbows project. We saw several small flowers but no young. We returned to the vessel and took 16 soil samples with care and then took a pen full of disturbed pond edge material to look for large red chironomids. We were able to find the larvae by stirring the mud with our boots because they float to the surface when this is done. We returned to the lab at about 1630. Steve and I discussed a schedule for soil and pond edge samples. We decided to get soil samples once every six days and left the pond edge samples undecided. 30 July Counted the sticky boards in the AM and we peeped them preparatory to running them this PM. 1330 Steve and I worked on the boards some more. We left to change them about 1430. The temperature is about 40-42 F, light wind and overcast sky.
