P. De Benedictis 1965 30 6 July Barrow, Alaska nest I found, and Puddy Terns along Elson hayon. A few Wolfspool in pools here and I saw a line of 150 ducks that appeared to be Eiders and a group of 70 Kings. There were relatively fewer Lemmings in Holmes' Marsh than elsewhere. Three same species seen along Elson hayon were noted going back to the Beach Ridge. I checked 4 jayge nests along here but all had only 2 eggs; Oculs conspicuus along the hayon Shore. The marsh seems to have reached something of an equilibrium as there is little change in its current water level now. The plover had thinned out somewhat but the 3 Black Bellies still persist. This large group of plovers and Dow Fels is still in the SW part of the marsh and there were a few small groups in the E + NE part. There are clearly fewer Pechials around than July 3, and couldn't find the Purple wrecks though still a few Westerns and a group of Semipals. Got a ride in from here and spent the evening at the bar. 7 July Got up early to go out and check nests behind the bar. It was a bright sunny day, 54% overcast with a weak, variably strong wind from the SE, and very pleasant, but very quiet. In the morning the only song heard was a Little Snow Bunting and 1 Semipal and 1 prob. Baird's. I went out checking all the nests on the way to AACs and then went to Ternnest on Lines IX + X, and returned rapidly. I saw only single Baird's at all the nests (not pairs of semipals at several and 3 group
