R.B. Hamilton 1965 Journal June 14 Barrow Alaska were observed resting on the snow. I was let out along the ridge, on the SE side of Central Marsh about 0.2 mile N of Coordinate D5 on my map. I walked N along this ridge till I hit Beach Ridge. I proceeded West on Beach Ridge to the NW side of Central Marsh. I then cut overhead back to ARL. The snow had melted along the high ground which I covered on the trip but covered most of the lower laying ground. This trip was notable because of the large number of Lemming that were observed (about 200). Droppings of a small mammal, probably a weasel were found. The densities of Pomarine Jaegers and Snow Owl were moderately high but only 8 shorebirds were seen. The density of Lapland Longspurs and Snow Bunting were lower than I expected. One nest of the snowy Owl was found as was one empty scrape. No records of shorebird feeding were made. June 15 The day was cloudy. The wind was from the SSE at about 15 knots. It occasionally showed during the day. The temperature was about 30°F. There was little progress in the melt today. At about 1030 Dr. Pitelka and I went out to make observation on shore bird feeding behavior and to collect those birds on which observations were made. This collecting was done in the 5th Area. One Pectoral Sandpiper, One Qualin and Three
