Cade 1958 General Account 22 June Barrow, Alaska Wrote letters in the morning and worked around the lab - oiling traps etc. Went out with Brock at 1500 to view the traplines. Back in camp at 1700. There appears to have been an movement of shorebirds in the last two days - noticeable among semipalmated sandpipers especially and among pectoral sandpipers to some extent. Also dowitchers seen for the first time this spring. 23 June Barrow - Went out in weasel at 1235 to investigate more flinching nests - west south of Calthol Marsh toward the gas well. Returned to ARL at 1635. Weather mostly overcast today with some heavy sunshine. At 1845 Brock and I went out and took up the traps on T112, T640, and T9210, in anticipation of departing tomorrow for Meade River. 4 June Barrow - sat around most of the day waiting for the weather to break for flying. Finally had to give it up around 1500. So Brock and I went out before dinner and set twelve live traps baited with sardines for weasels. Carlee, in the morning, we picked 10 plots for Schultz near T9210. Pete went with us to see where they are located.
