Cade 1958 Beneval Account 30 June cont- Returned to camp at 2230. Weather mostly overcast all day with some rain in the afternoon. Little or no wind. Light drizzle around 1400 for a few minutes. July - Went out at 1250 to see traps on T102. Returned to camp at 1420. Porter Lochart flew the Wien plane in on the regular mail run around 1530. He had a note from Brewer telling us to load on anything that we weren't going to use further in order to save on flight time tomorrow when Fisher comes in to take us out. We loaded on the outboard motors, some fuel and a box of live traps. At 1810 Brock and I went out to take up the traps on T102, 324. Returned to camp at 2030. Weather today mostly clear and warm with strong NW wind. As to relative abundance of shorebirds in this area, I would give the following rank from most abundant to least common: semipalmated sandpiper, pectoral sandpiper, red phalarope, golden plover, northern pha- lope (possibly not as breeding population), black- bellied plover, dowitcher, claudin, and turnstone
