P. De Benedetti's 1965 8 July. Barrow, Alaska for the first time in a while and single flocks of Pectoral and Semipalmated Sandpipers. The few nests cheeked were unchanged.* Went back in the afternoon to Creek 19 and as suspected there were 3 eggs. Didn't seem to be any other kinds established in the area, but the strong wind greatly depressed activity. The Turnstone and 1st Phalarope nest had been robbed and there is still question as to what the empty nest found yesterday is. - Can't find alpine's nest 5 anymore. The miserable wind induced a quick return to the lab and spent the evening in. Dr. P. tella returned to civilization this evening. 9 July Got more or less early and after a light breakfast went out with Hamilton to the area between VOTH and Footprint Lake to spot nests. We went out in gosky weather which deteriorated somewhat - wind from the E → O → W accompanied by cold → mosquitoes → cold rain. There was little noise about and very little activity, except that there were pectoral flocks widely spread out. Found 6 new jaeger nests and didn't check two; the others all had 6 eggs. We found a pair for each jaeger nest but one indicated on the map and failed to find two nests - the density in this area works out to about 17-18 pairs/mi² or about 1 pair 36 acres, which seems right from our arsenal observations. The Dudley Ross' turned up and we took them to VOTH & went on out to Footprint Lake
