Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 16 21 June (cont) 1300 (cont) them by hand. After doing this, I spent the remainder of the afternoon making my way through samples #4 and 5 (see Diptera study). 1900 Tom, Steve and I took the vessel and went out to the foraging lines on Beach Ridge, central marsh. On the way, I collected a Central Sandpiper J for Mason and he took several pictures of the bird with his telephoto lens (300mm). I also saw my first Buddy Turnstone standing out in the swamps with Pectoral and Red Phalaropes. We checked the lines and had a red-backed Sandpiper, Red Phalarope J and 1 foraging in the line. 2150 We returned to the lab. I turned in - Steve and Tom went back out. 22 June 0800 Started doing sample #6 and then at about 0930, Tom and I went out to check lines 5 and 6 and then pick them up. On the way back, we broke a track on the vessel but not clear through. We managed to limp back in by 1205. The wind has been blowing all morning and the clouds are low. Look like a storm could be moving in. 1300 I started up again on sample #6 (see Diptera study) and continued on through
