De Benedetti 1965 June 7 Barrow, Alaska plane for Barrow left about 5PM and arrived Barrow a little after 7. Went to bed. It is blowing once this is still a lot of snow on the ground. June 8 Spent the day around the ARK, finding out where a few of the things around here are, and reading - primarily tundra botany. Saw only 2 shorebirds, Snow Buntings and Lapland Longspurs during the day. After dinner I went to the West end of the ARK where I saw 5 Glaucous Gulls + 3 Jaegers out on the sea ice + 3 Gulls flying about further out. No sign the wind is creasing but visibility inland is getting better. June 9 In the A.M. from about 9 to 11 AM set with Dr. P. Kelka on the tundra in the area 2 mi. S of ARK; the tundra is quite snow covered, and the open spots are all blown over, much shallow ice over the exposed soil. Not much surface activity, and almost no small birds; the larger birds (Jaegers up) were concentrated in the dump area by the old AFB rocket installation, where about 80% of all the birds were seen. Saw one dead Jaeger and no shorebirds. Jaegers continuing + saw one Snowy Owl population Shortly after noon went out around the camp area finding a Fox Sparrow and a few of the regulars.
