McBee dell 1966 Journal 8 August Pleasee Run Cool Mine, 157°25'W, 70°27'N, Alaska Northern Phalacopes, which looked like adults, in the pools, feeding mostly in the emergent Carex aquatilis. At least 4 (2 light, 2 dark) Parantie Troupes were in the marsh and I saw one catch a small Platytus at the edge of the marsh. I saw one deer that looked like a 9 Eider and at least 12+ young Pintails, all flying and in the marsh along the lake. Only 1 Arctic Tern and 2 blancover gulls. Saw two fully fledged Dowithers in the way into camp and a 4 Pectoral that acted like a local gang. 4 Arctic Terns drilling up in pool by CO2 warmaguan. Very nice but there obviously aren't many birds here. 9 August Still very windy and somewhat overcast, cloudy in the afternoon a little, then clouding up in the evening. I spent most of the day looking at 1 x 0.2 meter plots for vegetation analysis. In the A.01 I worked along Phil's transect starting at the bluff and working to the lake, making two plot at each stake, one a meter on each side (N+S). In the afternoon I made similar samples on the N+S sides of each port on the center plot. Although the plots were variable, the # of species involved in all the plots was not especially large, and a few appeared in almost every plot.
