Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 69 5 Aug (cont.) Meade River Ask 20-06 to kill it. Don Kangos returned with the rifle and shot at the animal across the river twice and missed both. Next Tom shot twice, missing the first and hitting the caribou directly in the rump the second. The caribou then swam to our side of the river where Don K. shot it through the heart. We continued on east along the river and ran into a large family group - possibly a group of willow bunnies. Further on we saw a 3 red thalopes, Gleanous Gull, and saw a black belied flaver attack a G. Gull. We returned to camp at 1600 and eate. The plane came at 2000. 6 Aug. Plan to go to Umist today at 1000. I have all my gear ready to go. I checked the Berlese funnel. Looks like we will leave later than 1000. The sky is clear and it's windy ~ 15 MPH from the East. Temp. about 38-40 F. We left for Umist at 124-5. Clear flying all the way and arrived at 1430. Met Dr. Spofford and Clayton White at Umist. They are working on the falcon's aptle area and pesticide movement through the ecosystem.
