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.
