28 June. Barrow, Alaska
There were almost no shore birds evident at all
in this area (but noted a few species in Miccineet
Marsh I had not seen earlier). The area here
was relatively quiet. hemmingup were about
equally distributed everywhere from Miccineet or
and not as conspicuous; not many dead trees. found
a fairly fresh dead Snowy Owl and 2 dead
Gloucester gulls and 1 single nest of Por. Jaeger, Baird's
and Pectoral, and saw a Dunlin's nest found by Pitelka.
In the evening checked the nests behind the lab finding
No change except the Baird's Nest gained a new longspur.
L-T.
Saw 4 swans and one of the pallidly Tengas I have
seen in some times.
29 June. Went out in the morning with Bob Hamilton to hines I + II to
see how the traps are now, and to do a little bird walking
This was with around although I saw the swans again and
a number of phalaropes in the Meadow Lake area. Very
few calidris longs most species represented and
saw 2 jaeger nests which I couldn't get at. Saw the Baird's
nest found yesterday and found a single egg, prob. Golden
Plover, on a wetty bare polygon, although didn't
see any plovers. Skinned a Red Phalarope found with
a broken wing near Miccineet at about the rest of the
morning. In the after noon went towards the Voth area
to look for nests and make feeding observations.
Birds were very scarce except phalaropes but there
are closely more Semipals around them we have
