11 July (cont.)
1530 We drove back to line # 9x10 to set the traps.
The mosquitoes are quite bad here. We returned
to lab for supper.
I spent the evening doing skilby boards.
12 July. Got up at 0800 and ate. It rained so examples
until 10:00 and then did skilby boards. At noon,
two remained to be done.
1300 Dr Pitelka did the two boards while I cleaned and
re-gaged the boards.
1430 We (Tom, I, Dr Pitelka) left for line two first. The
weather is warm, almost completely overcast and
the wind is from the East at 15-20 mph. We
changed the skilby board and I checked the emegence
traps and then we looked around a little. We saw
no birds, no noise - amazingly quiet! We drove
on over to line 1 and changed the traps here.
We saw a flock of kestral sandpipers and several
E. florensis also. We returned at 1445.
2030 Dr. Pitelka and I discussed the byetna project
and I told him I didn't want to go on with it.
So, I'm now going to continue work but I'll
also be helping Steve and Tom more. I think this
& will work out fine. I can continue on this summer
and think about other projects as I go. Dr. I said
projects could develop here or at Berkeley. Let's
see when I get there. It was a good discussion
and I know where I stand now.
