General Account
19 June cont
and baiting museum specials. We have
enough traps for six lines plus about
50 spares in addition to the two sets
and spares that Childs has at Pitmegea.
After lunch Brock and I went out on
the treadmill and set out traps on transects
1 and 2, and 5 and 6. We also looked at
the lines in Central Marsh, which are
still quite wet.
Clavsky, no snow, much melting of
the little remaining snow - very mild
and unusual day of weather. Ramunculus
mivalis is blooming and the large purple
Pedicylaris has large heads, only a few
of which, however, are in flower. Some
turnocks - those not eaten down by lemmings
- are in flower, but not yet shedding pollen-
this is Eriophorum vaginatum. I have
seen no Carex in bloom.
20 June
Barrow, Alaska
At 0845 Brock and I went out in a weasel
and set out traps on transects 9 and 10.
These are on ground that shows some of the
heaviest utilization by lemmings - every
foot of the line shows evidence of winter cutting.
Then we saw the lines set out yesterday.
The only catch was 3 longspurs and one.
