Beaver 1967 Alaska Journal 36 July (cont.) and samples #53-60 were taken from the dry, south slope of Beach Ridge. After sampling and checking the emergence traps, we returned to camp and supper. 1945 I went out to check the nests. I managed to get them all quite easily so I came back in and turned early. 2 July Got up late and went to breakfast. The day is clear and warm. The temperature at the ARK building is 52°F! I went out to check the Bald nest at 1000. Nest #1 had hatched and no young were to be found. The others are probably near hatching soon. As I left the Bald area, two red polls flew in and lite in front of me on a Bald. Both flew off when I moved toward them. 1445 Tom C. and I left for central marsh line # 4# and B to set out the lanning traps. Both lines were on very wet, soggy ground. It took an hour to set the traps and then we returned. On the way, we plotted Overturn, a peretual sandpiper, and a red-backed seed- pigeon. 1930 Don W. and I walked out to the Quake Clays East and north of the runway to get some duck heads. Saw several small flocks of Eiders on the way.
