R.D. Hamilton 1966 Journal Barrow Alaska Aug. 14 driving would not start. I walked back to the 126 ... saw several groups of Sharp-tailed (Pectoral) Sandpipers. I thru walked till another bird was available and at 1,000 I had II about 1600. Late in the evenings I ran the trip line again. Aug. 17 The day was overcast with a little bit of rain in the morning. I ran the trip line in the morning. On North Meadow lake there was a female Old Squaw with five young about half-grown. Dovitches arrived in fairly large numbers since yesterday. In the afternoon I went to the Vets area to determine the extent of shambles distribution. I saw a large flock of Gull, there that contained 2 old year Herring Gull. Sanderling were present in large numbers throughout. At 10:30 I stopped and looked for Alcids about ½ hour. I saw Sabine's Gulls, Thick-billed Murre and Black-legged Kittiwakes. A saw an Alcid which was either a Kittlity Murrelet or least Alcidae in Winter Plumage. I guess that it was the Murrelet. In the evening I ran the trip line again. At 10, AACO should I see a young Red Fox which I approached to within about 10 ft. and photographed. Aug. 18 The day was partly cloudy. In the morning I ran the trip line. It seems that the Dovitches really moved in over the night. In the afternoon I tried to catch up on my notes. In the evening Steve and I pulled in the trip lines.
