General Account
11 June out to 1 foot of water or is still covered with snow.
Stopped by at 1800 to have dinner with
the Wien men and with the mechanic who
had been here several days before me to
fix the weasel for ABL. He finished this morning
and turned the weasel over to me at noon.
It seems to be in good working order.
Started out at 1930, after dinner, to look
for T-6. Nerv could locate any markers,
but I am sure I found the right ones. Even
found an old museum special along side the
drainage ditch mentioned by Hansen. Apparently
he did not mark this line. This notes do not
indicate. This line is clear of snow with a little
water present. It can be trapped any time.
Also located T-8 and T-2. T-8 is
marked with white sap tied to alder
branches. Most of the ground is still covered
with 6 inches to 2 feet of snow. T-2 is completely
exposed with only a little standing water.
It is a clearly marked line with iron posts and
wooden stakes.
Returned to camp at 2300,
I am not sure yet, but my first impression is
that the number of passerells and shore birds
is considerably less than in 1953, with exception
of yellow wagtail, gray-cheeked thrush, and
semi-palmated sandpiper. But I have not looked much.
