Journal June 13 Barrow Alaska (it was larger than a Baird's Sandpiper with much more red in the plumage and with a distinct white wing stripe) was seen chasing a Baird's Sandpiper. Only one feeding observation was made because the birds seemed more interested in displaying. Lapland Longspurs were seen giving a precopulatory display. A female Bluethroat was seen in this area. In the afternoon Paul and I walked along the road to Barrow. After about one mile we turned s and checked the NW side of Family Lagoon for shorebirds. In the area were Pectoral Sandpipers, Baird's Sandpipers and White-rumped Sandpipers which were not seen on the same area June 12. Snowy Owls were common but no nest could be found. The Dunlin and Pectoral Sandpipers on the area were not very territorial while the Baird's Sandpiper and Semipalmated Sandpiper were. On our return to AAL about 1800 we saw a Short-eared Owl fly across the road and land in the Tundra. In the afternoon it was warmer than the morning and it sprinkled rain. The snow has melted noticeably since yesterday and at least twice as much tundra is exposed. June 14 The temperature has fallen and is about 30°F. The wind is from the SE at about 15 MPH. About 1400 we left by weasel to study shorebird feeding behavior. As we were crossing Central Marsh a flock of about 50 Pomarine Jaeger
