P. De Buedich 146r 51 29July Bardzo, Alaska along Elson bayon, a few floats going inland. The area here in [illegible] with many small lakes like the area south of Iktuwoak, and phalaropes are much more numerous in the area than closer in to the lab. The jaegers were in the 15/20/mi.² limit and all with young. Saw many snowy owls but [illegible] only one proved had two jaeger eaten eggs and no adults about. got in about midnight and wrote notes the evening. 30July Went out to watch the ocean behind the lab for about ½ hour in the morning but saw little besides a few gulls and Glauces quells. No eiders. In the afternoon went to make another try for the white-camp which Bob saw again and found her + 3 chicks about the same age as most of the dunlin chicks around now.- flight feathers just beginning. Spent most of the afternoon at this time curve and poled. The trip in was interesting. The country by Bardzo is all lakes, filled or not, little ice, with cranes almost random stream & lake drainage capture. Only relief is low polygonal ground, on which owls could often be seen at great height (10000 ft). Near Uniat the terrain dryer, rolling low foothills, with low willow-alder in the larger stream valleys. Saw 2 ducks, 3 Northern Phalaropes, 15 snow Bunlig and 1 Pinch (ssp.) in Uniat. Cloudy the rest of the way in. Got to San Francisco 10 A.M. July 31
