P. DeBenedictis 1966 Journal 1 May 12, B Beheley to Barrow. left Beheley in the afternoon of May 12 and flew directly to Fairbanks. The flight up was uneventful except for my first helicopter ride and United Airlines left my baggage in Seattle. Fairbanks was cool and down - flight early in the am. Its Ann Arbor of early April here - No green plants of any sort. I wandered around town for a while listening for birds and found meek what I expected, except for the swallows: 3 hesser Yellowlegs, 1 Bullee (Redtail shape), 100 Violet- green Swallow, 15 Tree Swallow, 10 Cliff Swallow, 1 Steller's Jay, 10 Robins, 1 Horned Lark, 1 Wilson Warbler, 5 Myrtle Warbler, 25 Redpolls, 50 White-cr. Sparrow, 1 Golden-cv. Sparrow, 10 Fox Sparrow, 1 (Spizella), 5 Slate-colored Junco. Spent the afternoon reading at the airport. Wier flew the Fairchild up and the flight was mostly over the clouds until the Brooks Range. The Arctic slope is almost 100% snow covered so I don't think there is much going on now. An Eskimo pointed out some black dots he said were caribou. Took a few B&O. pictures. Barrow was sunny and only about 20°; nice went into the lab and to bed early. Heard 1 Snow Bunting near Pitelka's lab. Undulined Species are singing.
