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.
