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.

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)
