July 12 St. Barrow, Alaska; I was still in my hut when Sullivan came and asked if I wanted to go with Dave Hines to POW # at Cape Simpson. I rode down to Bouldon's House to see if he would take care of the colony and then went to the airport. The weather was clear here but at POW #, the ceiling was down to 500 ft. Murphy, the pilot, had no trouble landing. Cape Simpson, Alaska; The POW station here is smaller than at POW main of course, but very adequate. The first thing, Sullivan took Hines and I to the four lines and we walked each one of them. We returned and waited for the plane. On the return trip, I noticed that the ice was broken up in small pieces off the shore of AK. There were not any apparent mass movements & birds, in fact, not even solitary ones were observed. July 14, St. Barrow, Alaska; After checking the colony, Dave & I left for [illegible] Ilkik Slough for blood sampling. We found two before lunch but did not go back after lunch. I worked in the colony the rest of the day after helping Dave to process the blood. On the return trip from blood sampling, a Red-backed Sandpiper nest with nestling was found. All three nestlings were taken along with the female. All three were promptly sacrificed as Dave wanted to know
