P. De Benedich's 1966 Journal 1 July Please River (old place), 157°25'W, 70°24'N, Alaska what some of the newer flowers are, and then went to do north climb with phil. It was lovely, the Hentensia and Potemaniun in full flower. There were a pair of Black-belly plovers giving a distraction display here, but didn't try to find a nest. No sign of nesting Parasitic Troggers (bad birds) were in the area. Much of this area is heavily trampled by caribou, but we didn't see any. Ray mentioned he found a Eimer burrow near camp, and two kids in the village brought Lodge a Lemmus. A nice but unpredictable day. 2 July Rain Rain Rain Rain Didn't get wet. 3 July Overcast and very windy. Staged in the morning writing notes and then helped with a plane bringing supplies and taking Kelly out. I went to the census plot to check things but nothing really going on. All the longspurs have hatched and one set of [illegible] eggs are pipped (barely). The 3 Waytail is still in the area. Only saw one pectoral and the juncos have pretty well moved off the census plot. The dunlin are still snaking around in the grass - I'm beginning to suspect they have chicks already, but it's hard to tell, and this seems little hope of finding any. The Savannah Sparrow has only two going now, and the White-c. has hatched: 5 eggs in the evening.
