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
