Cade 1956 General Account 11 June Boarded south bound Wien DC-3, flight 345, about 2430. Arrived Uniat about 0200, and was met by the Wien radio and maintenance personnel. There are three or four of them stationed at Uniat. They put me up for the night in their bunk house, but before retiring I took a walk about the deserted camp and out along the wiesel road at the west end of "Uniat Avenue." Also examined the ARL hut for possible use as headquarters. It did not appear as satisfactory as the smaller U.S.C.S. hut, so I chose the latter, with permission of "Dust", who appears to be in charge of the Wien outfit. He seems to think he owns Uniat. Went to bed about 0330 and got up at 1015. Spent the rest of morning and early after- noon getting my gear set up in the U.S.C.S. hut and cleaning it out. Whoever used it last left it in a terrible mess. But they were kind enough to leave Eggerich's large ticture of Unite Ekberg tacked to the wall. About 1600 I went out to locate some of the relaver trans sets. Found T-4 with little trouble. The hundred foot intervals are marked with tent stakes, the intermediate ones with white soap tied to vegetation. About half of this line is encircled with wire.

Cade 1956 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.

Cade 1956 General Account 11 June cont. Redpolls, for instance, do not seem abundant, neither do longspurs. I did not see a tree sparrow, all day long, nor a robin, or white-crowned sparrow. I have not seen or heard a snipe. These were all very conspicuous in '52. 12 June Got up at 1000 and fixed breakfast. Went out at 1100 to locate the other three troop lines. Got across Sea Bee Creek at west end of air field with no difficulty. The water is high, and I had to float the wears a few feet in midstream. Found T-5 about 1200. It is marked by test stakes. I tied red wraps to some of the 100 foot interval markers from 600 ft on to end, their line is covered by a bank of snow. I took a photo of it from the beginning stake looking down the line. Located T-7, which is all clear of snow and with no large patches of melt water. It is marked by test stakes also. I put red wraps on some of them and took a photo at stake 0. Then went up the hill to find T-3. Had a hard time locating it. Wandered around in wears clear to top of the high ridge which separates headwaters of Sea Bee and Beaspoon Creeks. Found good place for additional plot. Returning down hill, I acci- dently came upon the markers for T-3. It is well marked with test stakes and smaller sticks. Some

Cade 1956 General Account 12 june of the latter have been broken or bent over, perhaps by movement of snow, as the line is on a rounded ridge that probably gets a lot of wind. It is completely free of snow and is the clearest of the 7 transects. I marked some of the 100 ft stakes with red rope and took a photo from the middle looking toward the beginning point. While we turning, just before got to the air strip, something happened to the broke on the left track of the vessel, and I had to drive it in the west of the way with no control over the left side. Will try to fix it in the morning. Got back to hut at 1900, ate dinner, prepared specimens and wrote up notes in the evening. Caught two lemmings by hand in the area near T-5. 13 june Retired at 0100 and got up at 0900. Fixed breakfast and then went out on a trip to Unist Mt. Could not get vessel across Beeswax Cr, no passed at foot of hill and walked the rest of the way. Returning to camp about 1830, I crossed a patch of snow I had used earlier to by-pass a ditch in the road, and the vessel fell through into a small drainage. It got wedged in between snow banks forward and back and would not budge. It was about a mile out of camp, so I shifted in for help. Had to walk bare-footed and pant less across Sea Bee Cr. Cold experience. Ate dinner with

Cade 956 General Account 13 June the Wien even. Good bench of quay despite armor. Afterward Ben and I took the 6x6 truck out to the weasel to pull it out. We had a lot of trouble. The weasel had leaked and was full of water up to the floor board. The foam was splashing water all over the place. We bailed out enough water to clear the jam and clevis shaft. The truck could not pull the weasel forward. Finally we jested it sidewise, and after several tries, shoveling, etc. we got it out. It looked like a drowned rat. I drained out the water and brought it in without further mishap. 14 June Retired at 0130 and got up at 0930. Spent the morning and early afternoon writing up notes and cleaning out the weasel from yesterday's melee. Got gear ready for trapping, Found the battery was not charged enough to start weasel. Had to get one Wien man to tow me to get motor started. Let it run no generator could charge battery the rest of the afternoon. At 1900 went out and set traps on Tlo and TH. Back at 2300, Fixed late dinner. 15 June Retired at 0100 and got up at 0900. Ran the trap lines, came back and fixed breakfast, and spent the afternoon skinning specimens. 1630 went out west of camp and set 12 traps by snow leaf mists at the base of willows. The area (cheat shrub) is middled with well-used semi-ways. It looks like it might be good for a transect.

Cade 1956 General Account 15 June Ran the traps again in the evening, and after a late dinner, skinned some more. 16 June Sat up reading until late - retired at 0446 and got up at 0900. One of the Vien men brought up my two Kalomagoo boots and a pressure cooker, which arrived on plane last "night." Ran the transects, and after late breakfast, spent the afternoon skinning. Ran traps again in the evening, at late dinner, and skinned some more. 17 June Retired at 0100 and got up at 0930. Ran traps, at breakfast, and spent early afternoon writing up notes of last two days. Took down vegetational and topographical details of T-42 T-6 during this morning's runs. In the evening I took up the traps on T-H & T-6. 18 June Retired at 2400 got up at 0930. Spent rest of morning and early afternoon getting a wig together for sampling faovage utilization. Made a test run of 15 samples on the strip of brush west of ARI, best where M. micivorus occurs. Did not get any positive evidence of faovaging. In the evening I set out traps on T2 and T8, and while at T2 went over by the oil well to see if the persquies were still there. They were. Got back late and had dinner. 19 June Retired at 0330 and got up at 1000. Immediately ran trap lines, had breakfast at 1300, and spent afternoon skinning and writing notes.

Cede 1956 General Account 19 June Ran lines again in the evening, and after supper read a- while, wrote letters and notes. 20 June Retired about 0200 and got up at 0900. Ran the trap lines, then had breakfast. Prepared specimen and worked on the weasel in the afternoon. One of the bogie wheels has slipped its rubber coating, and I tried to straighten it back on, but it would not stay. Will have to replace that wheel soon. Ran the lines again in the evening. Spent part of the evening with Vrien boys - getting gas for the weasel and oil for heating my hut. 21 June Retired at 0345 and got up at 0930. Ran the traps, etc., skinned and wrote up notes in the afternoon. Picked up traps from T2 and T8 in the evening. Will put them out on T5 and T7. tomorrow. 22 June Retired at 0330 and got up at 1100. Spent early afternoon skinning and writing up notes. At 1700 went out to T6. Found the last 300 feet still covered by a snow bank, so changed plans, and went up on the hill to T3 and set out traps. Then established a new line (T1) further in from T3 - in a ravale between the forks of a small drainage system. The ground cover is essentially the same as T3 except that there are scattered alders 1½-2 feet high occurring along most of the line.

7. Cade 1956 General Account 23 June Uniat, Alaska - Retived at 0230 and got up at 0945. Ran the trap lines between 1000 and 1230. Skinned specimens in the afternoon, and then ran traps again between 1830 and 2100. Skinned some more and wrote notes in the evening. 24 June Retived at 0100, up at 0900. Ran trap lines in late morning, cleaned up hut, washed cloths and worked on the weasel in afternoon. Ran traps again in the evening. Ben went with me and shot a caribou. They have been moving along the ridge in small groups the last few days. 25 June Erected Shanks, John Kovanda and their party at 0145. They are headed out to the Sagam ountain to K Rivers to botanize. I helped them with their gear and lodging for the "night." Andy, the gilot from Bettles, flew them over in 3 trips. Ran the traps in the late morning. Skinned in the afternoon and wrote up notes. Rod telegram from Webster saying he would arrive Anchorage today. Don't know what gives with Air Force support. Ran T1 & T3 for the final time in the evening and took up the traps. Skinned some more in the late evening. 26 June Retived at 0030 and got up at 0900. Set out traps on T7 in the late morning. Could not find the last 100 ft of this line. Wrote up notes in the afternoon,

Ran traps again in the evening and retired 2230. 27 June Up at 0700, fixed breakfast, and then went traps. In early afternoon carried out a fauge utilization sample along T4. Ran T7 again in the evening and skinned. 28 June Retired at 0030 and up at 0930. Ran T7 in the morning, and in afternoon went over to T2 and up along the ridge by the oil well looking for birds. Back to camp—cleaned up weasel and preased the tweets. Ran T7 again in the evening and skinned. Wrote up notes. 29 June Retired at 0100 and up at 0900. Took up the traps on T7 and prepared final specimens. Spent rest of day getting gear ready for the river trip. An Air Force C-47 brought Idal Webster in from Fairbanks around 2300. He will accompany Ben Geller and me on the river as representative of the Air Force Academy to get some gyrfalcon for marests. 30 June To bed around 0330 and up at 1200. Dusty came up to tell me that Andy Anderson would soon be here from Bettles with a Cessna 180 on floats to take us up river. (We had not expected him until very late in the evening.) Much washing around to get all the gear down to the slough where the float plane land.

Cade 1954 General Account 30 June Note: the account of the next five and 1/2 days is reconstructed from notes taken under the assumption that we had been landed on the Colwill, approx. 10 mi. above the mouth of the Otei lat. Subsequently it proved that we had in fact been landed on the upper Olonmogarik Killek, and by re-tracing our steps we are able to fix the spot as a small lake c. 5 miles up the Killek from its confluence with Easter Creek. How a bush pilot could fly this trip up and back to Otei twice without discovering the error is beyond me. Andy, the Wien pilot at Bettles, came in to Otei about 12.30 to take us up-river. I went up on the first haul to establish the landing point. On the way we saw half a dozen moose and one grizzly bear in the river bottom. Flew close by several falcon bluffs but did not see any birds. We landed on a small lake between the Otei River and Easter Creek, about one mile from the former and c. 5 miles above the mouth of the latter. On the second trip Andy brought up Ben Byeller, Hal Webster and the rest of the gear. The remainder of the day was spent packing the stuff over to the river. We have about 700 lbs of duffle etc. We were finally established in a camp across the river on a gravel bar around 2000.

General Account 30 June While waiting for the rest of the party, I scouted the area by bluffs. Put out a gyp falcon and one wroughtly, and on the upper brink found a den of red foxes. Saw both adults at very close range and one pup, which came out of a hole to get some food one of the adults had just dropped. One of the adults kept backing stone, retreating and then advancing again - sometimes as close as 20 feet. The other stood off at a distance. The brow was seemed to be an enlargement of an old ground aquicul system. We fixed a meal and we tried about 2400. One of the wine lances for the bow of one of the Kalawagoos is missing, but I guess we can improvise. The mountain tents prove to be excellent mosquito protection, but do not look like much for rain. July Spent morning getting the Kalawagoos (10 feet) ready for travel and looking over the gyp area. Took a picture of it and one of two young gyps on Web's coat. We shoved off about 1200, Web and I in our boat, Ben and most gear in the other, but we made poor time because of the low water - having to line the boats over quand bars many times. Both boats were taking in too much water to stay afloat by late afternoon, so we made camp at 1800. The boat Web and I were in had 11 tears in it - some 4-5 miles long - all of them where the miles stretched the canvas most taut.

Cade 1956 General Account 1 July Ben's boat, lightly loaded, had 6 smaller tears in the same areas. We camped on a high gravel alluvium, overgrown with moss and heath and large willows. Good ground for camping. Location on right side of river about 1200 above Easter Creek: 5 miles below starting point. 2 July Left Camp #2 at 0900, Ben and I taking the boats while Web walked overland. Made slow trine again with both boat leaking badly despite crew patching of yesterday. Please to stop every 10-15 min. to bail out the water. We passed a large creek coming in on the right about 1500, went another 4-5 miles and made camp #3 about 20 miles above the C[illegible] Creek. Web is flushed from the lake. We made about 15 miles today. Web killed an adult St Ignat just below the large creek mentioned above. We are serving it as food for ourselves and the falcons. The meat is very light - like rabbit. Birds seen so far include: Cavia stellata - 1 on the river Branta canadensis - on gravel bars - no nets yet Chiongnula hyemalis - on lakes by river Charadrius hiaticula - on gravel bars Actitis maculata - common on gravel bars Lobipes lobatus - flying along river Larus hyperboreus

Left camp #3 at 2200 and travelled for 10 hours. River does not improve much for travel. Web still walking. Got into some fast, white water, and Ben's boat capsized twice, striking each time. The first time, he was behind me, and I was able to gather up all the floating gear. All we lost were some canned goods & some C-rations. Second time he was ahead of me, and we lost everything that got out of the boat - some more food, a tent, paddle, hatchet, and some other items. His rifle stayed with the boat, and I was able

Cade 1956 General Account 4 July to locate his pistol and cartridge belt in 3 feet of water now 20 yds below the accident, and they were recovered. Also lost was most of our cooking suit. A couple of the pots were found a mile or so down river. I had a record, light paddle which Ben earned. He could hold it for only 10-15 minutes when the blade snapped right off the handle, so he had to pole and slice his boat the rest of the day. Wind came up, and weather turned bad, so we put ashore on a gravel bar at our next meeting with Web. We put everything out to dry off, etc., and raked out about 1200. 5 July Got up at 1000 after 22 hours of wind and rain. Saw now out enough to dry things off. Spent miserable night under one of the boats. Wind blew the rain right under. After breakfast, Ben set to work repairing the carve paddle while Web and I went scouting ground squirrels for the falcons. We departed this camp at 1430, with Web still walking but soon the water got better, and with our lightened load, he was able to ride with Ben. Weather was good, so we travelled right on through the "night". 6 July Hit the mouth of the [illegible] River about 0030, and the travelling improved much more but Ben's boat is still leaking badly, with no

6 July - at mouth of the lower tributary of Oolannogowik a nest of Laves by per laves was found - on a gravel mound in middle of large gravel bar. Mound about 2 feet high, 6 ft in diameter. Nest, a depression in gravel with some vegetable debris, held one recently hatched young and two pipped eggs.

n. Cade 1956 General Account 6 July more patching dope. About 0200 we arrived at the "hill of 9 faces" and found a second gypaenie with 3 advanced young- all tizzlies. Continued on for another 10 miles and made a temporary rest camp on a gravel bar. While we were firing some tea and warming up around a wood fire, two moose came up on the opposite side of the river and stopped to look at us ca 100 yds off. Since our food was just about gone (and at that time I hadn't the vaguest notion where we were) I consented to Ben's shooting one of the animals - a yearling - for food. We took as much of the meat as we could safely carry in the boats - ca 60 lbs I left the rest for the wolves. The each ate a couple of pounds of meat before leaving that camp. We continued on around 0700, and arrived at the Colville Bar, mouth of [illegible], before noon. We looked at bluffs above the Kittik on the Colville, and then continued down river for about 10 miles and made Camp #5 at 1700. The weather had turned bad again and it was raining before we made camp, so we had to set up a wet camp, which was far from comfortable. Also the mosquitoes were very bad.

T. Cade 1956 General Account 7 July Got up at 1200 after almost continuous rain since arriving at camp #5. Still cloudy, but things are drying out somewhat. Made some futile attempts to patch Ben's boat. Mire is not looking so badly, but Web has to bail constantly while they travel to keep the other boat afloat. Left camp #5 at 1630 - sky still grey and with some wind. Will try to travel straight on in to Uniat from here. 8 July Stopped at a gap aerial ca ½ mile below the cliff with the double ridge, where eggs nested in 'G2'. Took two fine, large eyass falcons and continued. Stopped to eat and rest at 1000 and resumed travel around 1300. Light chizzle all the rest of the way in. We arrived at Uniat about 2300. 9 July Spent the day resting up from the trip and getting gear and boats put away. Helped Web make a cadge to carry his falcons back on. He will take 4 with him, and I am keeping 3 to take out later. I am keeping the two youngest chicks and one of the falcons from the last aerial. 10 July The Air Force came in from Laff around 1500 to pick up Web. I helped him get his duffle and the birds ready and saw him off at 1600.

I. Cade 1956 Beveal Account 11 July Spent most of the day working over the weasel. Overhauled all the wheels and carriage. Changed oil and fueled her up. Battery had wound down, so I left the motor running for several hours to charge it up. Ben helped me change two bogies on the left side. One was broke while I was away. 12 July Spent the morning looking over an area West of ARL hut to establish a new transect and then set up the stakes and markers for it. This line runs through the area where I have trapped several M. mivicus and where their nests are very numerous. In the afternoon, some USGS people came in on a midgeon to establish a camp for a party of 10 which will be moving in in the next few days. They needed some help transporting their gear from the field - ahs from the lagoon where they have a Canav 180 or floats - and since I am using their weasel, I offered my help. In the late afternoon I set out traps on T5. Between stakes 800 & 900 & between 900 & 1000, there were 5 in stead of 4 20 foot markers!

Cade General Account 13 July Up at 0900 and van troops on T5. Skinned the rest of morning and wrote up notes in afternoon and went hunting meat for the meats. In the evening set out troops on T#9 and van T5 again. USBS still during the wrevel to transport equipment and gear up from the logoon. Retired at 1200. 14 July Up at 0900 and van the trop lines. Skinned in the early afternoon. S Shanks, Reverola and the others from the Sagecanisiktok party arrived between 1500 and 1800. We shot the breeze, and I had them over to my hut for dinner. Afterwards, I ran the trop lines again, and skinned in the late evening. 15 July Up at 0900 (notweld ca 0100) and van the trop lines. Back and breakfast in my hut with the other ARL workers. We lingered over the meal. Kieth stepped out for something and came back in to report a "smoldering fire" in the quonset where they were staying. John Morande started through the door when a blast of flames suddenly came forth. There was a strong westerly wind and this quickly whipped the fire into an unmanageable holocaust. We all grabbed five extinguishers (C12 type) but could make no dent in the flames. Both of Unneet's fire-fighting waysos (C12 tanks) were brought into play, but nothing had any effect.

T. Cade 1956 General Account 15 July The fire was already beyond control when discovered. It was apparently caused by the oil stone which must have caught the wool on fine row cases of their plant specimens which were hanging nearby to dry. With the wind blowing the gurninet acted as a furnace for the fire inside and flames came bavelling out of the N.E. end. They nearly caught another adjacent gurninet or fura use saved it by dashing buckets of water on the front. Even so, the wood got hot enough to smoke. The group lost every thing they had on the trip including much experience camera equipment. In my opinion something might have been saved if there had been a ready source of water to pump into the building at the early stage of the fire. The ARL group left via Vilm for Barrow ca 1700. Over the trap lines and took up traps on T6. Also net out gap bird net in Sea Bee Creek and in couple of hours caught a swell gorging - fed to the hawks. 16 July Ran T9 in the morning, skinned, tended to beards and gill net. Took up traps on T9 in evening and got a description of T6 on the spot. Wrote up notes. Running all clerks - not much could be done outside. 17 July - Up at 1000. Ben and I reset the gill net and then went over to the hill near oil well.

T. Cade 1956 General Account 17 July - There I established T10 midway up on the steep slope between the upper terrace and the rolling hills back of Unciat. The line parallels a contour just below the rock outcrops west of the oil well. It is in what appears to be good M. miewus habitat. On the way to this site - near NE end of Unciat Lake - the weasel threw its track on weight rider. It did not come all the way off - just slipped off the teeth on the back wheel. We left it as was, because we had no tools with us. Will return tomorrow with the other weasel and tools and try to pry the track back on. Also set out 6 #1 steel traps on the rocky outcrops for ground squirrels. Walking in, we heard a fox howling on the hill. Left it up for show or more. May be in one of the traps. 18 July - Spent morning writing up notes and skinning a dainty pectoral squirrel. Got 8 grayling out of the net for the hawks. Took the fine weasel out in the evening to run T10. Could not get any help today to take care of my weasel. 19 July - Retired at 0100 and up at 0600. Ben and I went out to get the weasel. We had no difficulty prying the track back on. Ran the traps early and came back in. Spent most of the morning and afternoon skinning yesterday's and today's catch. Ran the traps again in the evening, trudged fish net and did some cleaning for the hawks. 20 July - Retired at 0430 and up at 1000. Ran trap

Took up tropes on T10 in the evening 21 July - Spent morning skinning and writing up notes. Cleaned up weasel, drained it, and guessed tracks in afternoon. One of the USGS helicopter pilots came in with the report that MacVieirs had drowned yesterday in Chandele Lake. He had responded to the party's SOS signal. The other fellows were O.K. Apparent MacVieirs and one other were wearing the lake via Kalamazoo in awful weather when the boat capsized or was swamped. MacVieirs did not make it to shore; the other fellow was in the water for 15 min. and nearly froze. Fifteen minutes is about as long as one can take the cold of that water. I radicated their information to Wiggins at Baswan. 22 July - Spent day writing up notes, cleaning up cabin, washing clothes and getting ready for trip to Savier's River with Morande. John came through here from Fairbanks on his way to Baswan and was back with the return flight at 2400. We discussed plans for the trip to Savier's River. Dr. Wiggins also came in with the 10th rescue people to get my Kalamazoo boats to take back to Chandele Lake.

Ceneral Account 23 July - Up at 1030 and Rovenela and I got our gear and food ready for the trip to the Savievik River, Andy came up from Bettle about 1300. First we flew up the Colville to determine where he had put his decoy on the previous trip. It turned out to be the Colomnogamet R. in stead of the Killik as I had first thought. Andy was a bit embarrassed but readily admitted the mistake. We flew on up the Colville a little way seeing some moose and caribou and then turned back to the Killik. Flew up the Killik 40-50 miles; following up OKp. Kusevat branch, and then out over to the drainage of the Chandelier and down it to Unist. Both Killik and Chandelier have some spectacular bluffs on them but especially the Chandelier. Around the fork ca 20 mi N of Castle Blt there are several miles of sandstone with rock. Saw golden eagle, several rough leg - one on a nest and just below the forks we flew right over a gap where could see two fledged or near fledged yagys sitting on the ledge. Cliff over looked the river. Most of the sandstone "jiries" and back from the river a little ways. Extremely in- vesting country. We were back at Unist around 1700, spent some time refueling and reading Nacel's messages and then off to the Savievik R. Arrived at the lake at 2000 and found a floating messing and memorials of the Army site #5 - lots of C.-nation caused food and gas left. Andy ate steaks with us and left ca 2030. I spent next two hours looking for Hansen's 1955 transect but saw no signs of markers within a mile around NE end of lake. Conclude he did not set up a marked line (his notes do not indicate), so I established a new line in the habitat that he trapped. Two long- tailed jaegers are established in the area and several waves have been seen "from this" on the sandstone near Mr. Mordy, they seem to be living at the refuge around the old camp. Mites all over everything. Birds seen: pair of Bovia avellis on lake several Clangula hyemalis "" Sterna paradisaea "" Pleurialis dominica

Ran traps in morning, wrote up notes, and helped Kovanda with his transects. We walked over to the uplands west of lake in the afternoon. Saw a gyrfalcon ca 100 yds S. of camp at edge of lake. It was carrying a mouse. Stopped on a typtock at bank of lake and began eating. As we approached it flew off and circled up and down over us. Saved three times it bent its head down and bit the mouse in its talons. It drifted 5 yds an area where two jaegers were flying. Suddenly, a much smaller falcon (peregrine?) dived at the gyrfalcon from above. It did not injure it. It flew for some 10meters while I watched through binocs. Both seemed reluctant to flip over as usual. Both falcons flew out of sight. 6-7 old squacco on the lake 9 scoup and 3 crows on the lake. K saw a pair of young pternistigas - flying - below camp, I flushed 2 &1 and one cock in vicinity of camp. Several Ocarthis boonei along river in willows. Took up traps in the evening.

Cade 1956 Weather and Phenology 11 June Unicat, Alaska around the installation, Eriophorum has not yet headed out, but I noticed that some leeches at Unicat Lake had blossoms. But no pollen shedding. Vaccinium vitis-idaea is greening up some. The ground vegetation here looks dense and lush by comparison with the station at Barrow. White tussocks, however, are conspicuous everywhere. The river is completely free of ice and is running fast and high. Many of the lakes are still almost completely ice-bound. Others, such as Unicat Lake, show open water in their shallow portions. Both ends of Unicat Lake are ice free. In general I should say, judging from what I could see from the air, that out about 15-20% of the snow cover from winter remains. Some of the largest patches locally are on the sheltered slopes N of Unicat and W of Unicat Mt. 12 June Unicat, Alaska It was only partly cloudy - mostly sunny, when I get up at 1000, with moderate or 5 mph or less wind from NE. Wind continued all day, getting stronger toward evening. It continued to clear during the day, and the sky was almost free of clouds in early after-

Cade 1957 General Account 24 May- Left L.A. international at 0800 via United Airlines to Seattle. Arrived there at 1330 Seattle time and transferred to Pan Am, leaving for Fairbanks at 1400. Arrived Fairbanks at 1810, their time. John Brackley and his family met me at the airport and took me out to College, where I had a room reserved in one of the new men's dorms, the Andrew J. Measland Hall. 27 May Remained on campus all day talking to various people and reading various field reports Brackley wanted me to see. Had a brief visit with Olaus Murie just before he was to go down to Anchorage to give some talks to boost the plans for setting aside the wilderness area of the eastern Brooks Range. He seemed to be quite encouraged by the local enthusiasm for such a withdrawal. Also had a chance to read George Schaller's report on the Sheenjek River last year. He had some observations from the head of the Iago River - one of them was of Snow lemmings with fireflies.

Cade 1957 Oleval Account 28 May - Went out with John Buckley and Burt Libby at 0800 along the Steese Highway to Twelve-mile Summit, where one of the FWS pilots had reported seeing a dead grizzly bear and cub about a mile off the highway—presumably having been recently shot. He also reported seeing a live cub near the dead animals. When we arrived, we soon saw the live cub—a yearling—which ran off when we approached. A little later I spotted the carcasses, but to our surprise, they had apparently lain since last fall, as they were bloated and rotting fast. We weighed them and lopped off their heads and left. Also saw about nine cavilion in the area. Coming back, at mile 25.4 we found a sheep's nest. 29 May Left Fairbanks international at 0800 for Barrow. We stopped briefly at Bettles for gas, and I said hello to Andy Anderson and made tentative plans to do some flying with him this summer. Arrived at Barrow 1130 and got to ARL via Vein's bus service.

Brock and I figured out the lemmings that Chester has brought in so far. We walked out around the car area in the afternoon. Saw lots of gulls but no jaegers or lemmings. There was a whateaer around and three shorebirds that may have been turnstones. Lots of snow buntings and some lovebirds. 31 May Took a 4 hour walk in the afternoon out south of ARL beyond the car area toward the gas well.

There was little wind today, and the sun was out part of the afternoon. First partly sunny day since my arrival. 1 June Went out with B. Rock in a weasel at 1230. We traveled about 4 miles west of the village along the beach bluffs and back inland along the exposed ridges. There was abundant old sign of lemming activity - old pellets and droppings were everywhere, - but we saw no lemmings and little fresh sign. 2 June Another bright day. Spent the morning and afternoon in the lab. Skinned a few birds. In the evening, Makers, Campbell and I went out in a weasel to the gas well and back. Saw no jaegers, owls, or lemmings. But we did see almost constant flocks of ducks passing offshore between 2100 & 2400 hours. 3 June Spent the afternoon in the lab preparing a goose for Max.

We saw a few small flocks and one small group of old squaws. 4 June Flew in a Cessna 140 with Brewer and Maker to Wainwright and Back to Barrow in the afternoon. We left Barrow at 3 p.m. and traveled at 700-500 feet altitude and ca. 6-10 miles inland. Visibility was good. We saw a few jaegers (see Maker's notes for details) and one Snowy Owl just before we landed at Wainwright. Also a good number of water- leel of various sorts. The tundra was ca. 60% bare of snow. Arrived at Wainwright ca. 1600 and there we met Mr. and Mrs. Crawford, the school teachers. We made arrangements with Mr. Crawford to receive lemmings for us from the Eskimo Kids at 50¢ a piece. After some further talk, Maker and I went out onto the tundra adjacent to the village. Most of the ground we covered was high-center polygon type. Fresh lemming signs was common everywhere, and the look of the ground due to the presence of lemmings was in marked contrast to the ground conditions at Barrow. It was most gratifying to see some fresh sign and to be reassured there by that

Cade 1957 General Account 4 June we had been correctly interpreting the reign or lack of reign at Barrow. The snow was gone off the high centers but was still present in the drainage ditches, all around the edges of the melting snow where- where we walked saw a course of ca half a mile fresh runway and bright queen droppings were seen. The runways frequently went into conspicuous holes under the snow. We found two winter nests. We did not see a live lemming but during the two hours we were at the village half a dozen kids brought in a total of 31 animals. This is again in strong contrast to the situation at Barrow where we have been able to obtain less than 20 from the kids in more than a week's time. We will certainly want to keep tabs on this area all summer. It will be worth finding out whether some predators attempt to breed in this area this year. At present it does not look like Wainwright is "in please" with Barrow. We returned to Barrow via the same route. Visibility not so good but good enough to see jagers.

Cack 1957 General Account 5 June Left Barrow at 0900 in an LVT, traveling to the Inaave River with Bill Maher, Bill Boyd, Doc Hanna, Al Brock, Lowell Douglas, and Kenny Tewak as driver. We followed the cat-trail to the Coal Mile on the way down. The weather was foggy for the first couple of hours but cleared before we reached the Inaave. We arrived at the Inaave about 1300 and ate lunch at an Ekinvo Creek-shooting camp. There were half a dozen men there hunting. We then continued down the Inaave for about 3 miles, stopping at some conspicuous sand dunes on the left bank. After that we returned overland to Barrow, staying much of the time on frozen lakes. As we went out it was conspicuous that as soon as we left the immediate vicinity of the shoreline, the snow cover became much greater - still obscuring well over 60% of the ground. But after about 10 miles of this, as we got onto higher ground, the snow began to disappear again, so that by the time we got to the Inaave only about 25% or less of the ground was covered by snow. All of the high centers of polygon areas were uncovered but there was still snow in the troughs. Also

Code 1957 General Account 5 June conspicuous was the gradual change in the vegetation and micro-topography as we proceeded inland. The low micro-relief of the Barrow area with its extensive Carex and Dupontia beds and lack of conspicuous trees, and low shrubs begins to give way about 10 miles out to a gradual infiltration of Ericophorum tufts and woody plants such as willows and various "heaths", so that within 5 miles of the Barrow and from there on, one traverses a terrain that is essentially an Ericophorum-heath- dwarf shrub complex with conspicuous trees. Along the framer most of the ground is high cut polygo type except right next to the river. From 10 miles out of Barrow on, then, ground cover is quite good for lemmings. We saw no owls on the trip and only a few scattered jaygers (see Maker's notes for details). But as we approached the Barrow lemming range became more and more common. A Douglas saw one lemming about 5 miles from the River, we saw two more and caught one more along the river, and coming back we caught one more about 10 miles S. of Barrow. Along the framer the fresh sign - new scrap, droppings (quen) tunnels in

T. Cade 1957 General Account 11 June, Wainwright, Alaska Beeny and I spent the morning 0800 to 1130 setting out the traps on the four transects. Jaegers were all about us, T1 is in rod slope. Apparently Takers set up a new series of stakes last year. Now there are two sets which do not match up, and it is hard to know which intervals to follow in setting out traps. The other lines seem to be OK. Coming into the Village we were met by two kids who had shot 4 jaegers. There we bought for a $1.00. We saw the transects after dinner and retired around 2330. Spent the afternoon writing up field notes. 12 June, Wainwright, Alaska Hank and I ran the transects in the morning, then came back to the village to pack Hank's stuff up for his return to Barrow.

Note on weather and phenology: ever since we arrived on 10 June, the sky has been clear with bright sunshine. There were some early morning clouds today, but otherwise clear skies still prevail. The wind has been moderately strong and N-easterly all the time but around 1200 today it switched, and is now moderate to light and from the West. Crispophorum turcetum are green at the bases and there are a few heads shedding pollen, but most of these seem to have been eaten by the lemmings. Cassy is queening in the troughs, three new no flowers to date. At 1400, a fog came rolling in with the SW wind, and ground visibility is now about 2000 feet. Made the evening run of the troops early and returned to village to prepare to leave to- mosaw and to clear up the quarters I have been occupying in the school. Caught two more lemmings by hand - one looks pregnant. Low fog gone at 1700 - now high ridges above - temperature dropped from the fifties into the thirties.

Arrived at Liz 2 (Point Lay) at 1053, Met Clarence Molan, the station superintendent, and got squared away in a wanigan. Molan made a wheel available for me in the afternoon, and I was taken out onto the tundra back of the site. We were out from 1515 to 1720 and covered about 2 1/2 miles ground between the site, which is west on the lagoon, and the Kokolik River and the large lake where they get their drinking water, about a mile east. There is a gravel bed road got to the lake. The ground right along the lagoon is up- raised a bit and is a Eric phoenicu typock - herb - dwarf shrub complex but this drops down almost at once to low flat terrain of lacustrine polygons. The highest rise in the immediate vicinity, a short ridge ca 50 ft high, lies between the lake and the river - north- west of the lake. We went over this ridge, along the river to the eastern end of the lake and back to the site. Lupine, and a plantain were common flowers seen.

Also saw Fred Milan briefly at the airport. Ibe introduced Chance. May already had a bush flight ar- ranged for the afternoon. At 1407 Royal Shanks, Bill Maher, and I made the same survey flight east of Barrow that May and Rosanda and I made last year. Bob Fisher was pilot. The following is the itinerary and two of my observators. See Maher's notes for plot of exact route taken. We flew at 300 to 200 feet most of the way with air speed of 80-90 miles per hour. Visibility was excellent to good except for the last 10 minutes,

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.

When we got back I walked out over the Alectophila area between ARL and the Camps between 2115 and 2220 - to look for more lemming nests. 21 June Barrow - Brock, Maher and I went out on the tundra with John Cantlon at 0800 to get some Botanical information on the local grasses and sedges. Sky again bright and clear but cold wind blowing from off the ocean. At 1345 I went out in weasel to look for lemming nests. The area investigated was the high grounds around T9 and T10. Nests were sparsely distributed in this area, Also looked at areas between the beach ridge and the airstrip, in the center of Central Marsh, and at the south end of Central Marsh.

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.

The vegetation here is well-advanced- about 2 weeks ahead of that at Barrow. Crisophorum is heeled out in white Tufts, Carex is blooming and shedding Rolling prospers, the purple Pedicularis is in full bloom, Petacites is blooming, Dryop is in full bloom, Vaccinium reticulatum is blooming, Ledum is just beginning to bloom, Willows, catkins are mature, and many other flowers are now. The vegetation has a definite greenish appearance in distinction from the general brown look which still prevails at Barrow. At 1500 Brock and I went out to set traps on the two fartherest transects T7-8. While we were out there, four Caribou came by and Joe shot one of them near our lines. We walked over after we were finished and helped him carry the meat back to camp. In exchange for 5 lbs of sugar and 3 lbs of coffee, we got the hind quarters. The animal was a yearling. This meat

After dinner, around 2000, we waved across the river and set out traps on T-6, which is situated in the cross railroads growing along the river. 26 June - Meade River Coal Mine - Went out at 1000 to check trap lines. No catch. Returned to wannigan at 1135. Then went across the river to check T-6 - 1200-1230. At 1330 I went walking southwestward from the village and made a circle around the lake country and back along the brink of the river. Returned at 1700. Covered about 3 miles. At 2000 I went out to view T-728 again while Brock went across the river to view T-6. Returned 2130. Weather intermittently clear and cloudy - clear mostly from 1200 to 1700. Thunder clouds and rain in the distance northward and westward in the late evening. Mosquitoes quite bothersome today. Many insects are out.

Cade 1958 General Account 27 June Coal Mine-Mead River, Alaska This morning Brock and I tried to go up river in the ARL boat with a 7½ horse motor. Unfortunately the river was too low for crossing the numerous bars, so after making about 5 miles and breaking three shearing pins, we gave it up and came back. We had to row the last mile or so because we ran out of shearing pins. We left camp at 1045 and returned at 1600. In the meantime, a Piper plane came in and left us some additional supplies-meat and mosquito repellent. Another plane came in around 1700-two CAA fellows from Barrow, who were out inspecting cabins. At 2045 I crossed the river to run Tle while Brock went out to T728. Returned at 2200. Weather today about the same as yesterday- intermittently cloudy and sunny in the morning- mostly sunny and warm in the afternoon, with solid overcast and rain in the distance toward the mountains in the late evening.

Intermittent rain squalls continued all day. at 1400 Brock and I went out to take up the traps on T728 and set them out on T3 and 4. T4 could not be located, so we set out a line of traps parallel to T3 but running along the base of the ridge. The ground cover has a strong component of Carex, as it is in an area where the snow is slow to melt off. Also dwarf willows is common. Otherwise there is a good stand of redge and givers and the area shows heavy winter use by micro- tines - numerous nests and much cuttings lying about. Appears about as heavily later last winter as the area near T8, which I wrote about yesterday. Will examine rests in this area tomorrow. Several shed hairs around which looked like Microtus. The inner core of these nests was made up of "chopped" stems - ie short pieces ca 1 with long rather than whole intact stems and blades as in the nests around Bavois. This may possibly turn out to be a way of distinguishing the winter nests of Lemmus and Microtus. We also set out traps on T1. Returned to camp at 1705.

Weather intermittently clear and cloudy with solid overcast developing in the late evening. June - Brock and I went out at 1325 to check the traps on T304. From there we continued on down the river for about two miles, passing the old village site of Athasuk and keeping north to the high "barrens" type ground along the sand bluffs which front on the river. This habitat is a riot of blossoms now- blooming in full bloom, several kinds of Pedicularis, two kinds of seltch, Cassiope, Dryas, Papaver, Leclerc, and many others which I do not know. We returned to camp at 1735. Went out at 2125 to check T102.

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

Code 1958 General Account July - cont - Possibly the red phalarope should come before the pectoral sandpiper, and possibly the dunite before the black- bellied plover - each of these two couples are close to the same in numbers, ie red phalaropes and pectorals are both quite common and black-bellied and dunite are both uncommon but by no means rare. As to poneries, the longspur is most abundant - the single most abundant species - the redpoll is probably second, then the snow bunting - locally of course quite common about the villog - fourth, the savannah sparrow, and fifth and much the rarest, the yellow wagtail. Of water fowl old squaws seem to be somewhat commoner than pintails. Old squaws are paired whereas nearly all the pintails are hens.

We took both vehicles because I wanted to see how far out I could take the jeep without getting stuck. Fortunately, it is possible to get it all the way down the wood to Old Unpeat, which puts us within easy walking of the trap lines. Hal then took us on over the rough stuff in the weasel. Wileox and Radke came along, and while they went walking along the ridge, we set out the traps. The vegetation along T2 is considerably higher than in '64 or '67 - especially in the place center ridge-groves marshed where this growth is almost twice as high (ca 18-20" wide) as previous. In the part the vegetation has not grown above the top of the stakes, but this year all the stakes are hidden below the crown of the groves and ridges. Also, despite the fact that this has been a wet summer, this line is drier in the feed chutes than in '64 or '67. Some stakes are standing in water about 2" deep, but most of the sites are really flooded as in the past.

Mosquitoes appear to be developing in numbers somewhat. 21 July - Unmiat - Waited around all day for news about when Bobby Fischer would fly up from Barrow to take us up the river. There were several changes of plane, but he finally arrived late in the evening around 2330. We made preparations to leave at once. Earlier in the afternoon, Idal, Chester and I went out berry-picking. We each picked a 5 lb coffee can full in about an hour - salmon berries. Have never seen such a year for them. About 80% of the blueberries are also ripe now. This berry crop will go almost completely to waste as far as ptarmigan are concerned because there simply are no birds around to utilize the berries. 2 July - Unmiat to Colville River above mouth Colunnu- guik. - Harold Griffin and I took off from Unmiat with Bobby Fischer at 0105, flying in ARL's new float plane.

As we were on gut is land, we could not immediately get to shore to follow the drifting boat. It soon disappeared around a bend in the river. We managed to wade across the left channel of the river and were fortunate enough to find the boat grounded about 1/2 mile below camp but on the opposite side of the main stream. While Paul remained to watch the boat, I returned to camp for life jackets, boots, and oars. The each put on a life jacket and took one oar and then swam across the river to the boat. The current was strong, and we drifted about 1/4 mile downriver before we got across. Then we paddled the boat back across the river and pulled it up along the left limit bank to camp. We got back into camp with the boat at 1700. At 1915 we were loaded and rowed the river to investigate the plugwink.

The Sliktok camp is situated at 2000 feet by a lake in the view valley, which at this point has steep walls rising up on the east side more than 1000 feet. From this point the view leads directly back into the mountain province proper. There are alluvial fans all along the sides of the valley and glacial moraines are frequent. The scenery is definitely alpine and quite spectacular. Jerry Brown regrets that he has been microtuitly [illegible] along the edge of Okfilake Lake and in the steep areas of the valley, through the alluvial fans just north of camp. August Okfilake River - Jerry Brown and I spent most of the day walking up river 3 1/2 miles to the locality where Ed Sable and John Cantlon reported finding joys nesting. We walked along the right limit - Keeping pretty close to the view on the way up. On the way back we traversed the alluvial fans along the side of the valley and at the foot of the steep rocky walls.

Along this stream there is a stand of felt leaf willows which reach heights of 15 feet in places - gradually becoming shorter toward the head of the stream. This is the largest stand of "tall brush" in the immediate area - ca 1/2 mi long. Stands of dwarf shrub are frequent both on the sides of the valley and on the floor. In the evening, I set out a mist-net in a steep sided, dwarf-bush covered creek, about 20 yds wide & 5-8 feet deep, which runs into OKfilak Lake. Also set out a line of traps along the margin of OKfilak Lake. Weather was mostly clear from 1000 on. In the early morning there had been fog over the upper part of the valley obscuring the higher walls. There was some light vein during the night August OKfilak River - another bright, clear day. Spent the day setting out two moose transects, one on a low, inter-aluvial fan area - mostly sedge-grass swale, and one on the steep alluvial fan just back of camp, and working on specimens and sorting notes.

They were there today too. Spent some time along the saddle and out in the meadow collecting birds. Returned via same route. All along the way - clear to 5,000 feet sign of mica-tine activity was frequent. On Contact Creek shrubby willow gradually peter out at about 3,000 feet. From that point on all the vegetation of the slopes and ridges is essentially low stature-deciduous tuff-of the "broom" type. Meadows of grasls and ridge are local in occurrence and of limited size - few hundred acres at most. Mica-tine high (M. meuri ?) was more abundant on the slopes and ridges than it was in the high meadow where one might expect to find Lemmings and M. oeconomicus. In fact, very little fresh sign was seen in the meadow, and it seems probable that these high meadows are populated with Lemmings and M. oeconomicus only during years of

(2) dwarf willow area 6" to 18" high, growing among small diameter (4-8") tussocks on well-drained gravel 1/4 mile back of the willage. This area of about 200 yds x 20 yds is literally riddled with old holes and runway trails in all directions around the tussocks.

First large area of melt-off water on lagoon ice just south of Point Loy. From there on the whole landscape began to clear rapidly. I have found no sign of melt-off anywhere along the coast or inland before Point Loy. Perhaps on top of some of the ridges there had been a start, but less than 1% of therefore was exposed. From Beaufort on, the upper hilly regions presented an aspect which generally gave the impression that about 50-60% of the ground was free of snow. The low Tincheva creeks immediately along the coast appeared to be about 20-30% free of snow. Some creeks and rivers have opened, but others not, but there does not seem to be any correlation with time of breakup and size - both large & small streams may be open or closed. 1635 - passed cape Beaufort. 1700 - down on bar at Pitmeger.

Visibility perfect except over Cape Lighlerrone, which was covered by low clouds. However, only the tip of the cape was, covered up. There is a great stretch of sea cliffs running down the coast from the cape for perhaps 15-20 miles - no continuous ramparts but outcrops at frequent intervals where ridges down to the coast from the higher ground inland. A wide sandy beach runs all along the way below these bluffs. The area looks highly suitable for nesting falcons and rough-legged hawks. Accessible from the dew line site. We did not get a good look at the front of the cliffs because we were flying directly cover head. 1330- passing by Cape Thompson. Here the cliffs are not nearly so extensive as at Lighlerrone.

There are long stretches with no true bluff- like formation of any sort. There is one series of good rocky outcrops about 10- 15 miles above the mouth, then another of 10 miles or so in the canyon above the Hell that looks good for raptors.

There is a large dike (movarite from the glacier) almost closing off Carnivore Creek at the point of entrance of this creek, Passed through a series of wet meadows much trampled by last year's herd of some 30,000 caribou. An interesting point about the trampling - where the ground had been disturbed to the point that the vegetation was gone - creating muddy patches within the meadows, there the shovelnose were concentrated to forage in the mud. Apparently these trampled areas create favorable habitat for invertebrates.
