Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 24 25 June (cont) going to shoot the owl, he only shot "shit birds" on Targets. He said they were bad birds etc. I saw he was drunk, but we walked away. On the way out, he had shot a Target and was looking at it. We (Tom & I) reported him to Dr. Patelka on our return at 2230. Dr. Patelka found that he works here so can tell his boss and also the Director, Dr. Brewer, about his actions. I stood in at 2330. 26 June 0800 After eating, I began work on the next set of soil samples taken from lines 3A and B area west and S. of camps. This work consumed the time to 1200. Dr. Patelka said he wanted to try and find a few Bairds and Semipalmated sandpipers in the lousel area this afternoon and I said I would like to help. I had to make a few minor repairs on the bow net traps before we left. The tugger shaft needed stronger attachment to the cross bar holding the net traps, so I put a second piece of wood beneath the one already there. 1330 Dr. Patelka and I left for the drum area to find Bairds and Semipals. The wind is cold and occasionally rain is falling. The wind is from the N.W. at about 10-15 mph (approx)
