De Benedicks 1966 Journal - 4 17 May Baydez, Alaska. It snowed during the night and much of the open tundra was covered up again. Didn't feel like to go out. A few noisy Snow Buntings in the Cab area this evening, singing loudly. 18 May. Went to the Vost area and to the ridge between this and the village during the [illegible]. Sunny and pleasant where the wind stops. The ridge here is like the beach ridge. 99% snow-covered and the exposed areas mostly bare. No sign of any animals. In the Afternoon went with Pat Clark to Beach Ridge and walked to Dr. P. T. Kelka's Census plot. The area is more snow covered than earlier and no signs of animals. Snow Buntings not as noisy around the Cab. The roads developed large puddles during the day. 19 May Another clear but deadly day. Didn't go out large puddles around the Cab, which freeze at night. Saw a different Glauces gull, all white, and a few Buntings around the Cab. Nothing else. Healy River Camp is 4/8's of the way there + the trudra 99% snow covered. 20 May Snow during the day. It's beginning to get hard to keep track of the date due to inactivity. Saw 2 Glauces Gulls together and some Bunting territorial behavior.
