R.B. Hamilton 1965 Journal Barrow Alaska Jun 30 The morning was mostly clear. The temperature was about 95° and the wind was from the W at about 10 MPH. It started sprinkling several times during the day. In the morning I ran the traplines I and II. I have the impression that a Steller's Eider is nesting somewhere between lines I and II. A Golden Plover's nest has been found but contains only one egg. There are places in the vicinity of the nest but the egg is cold. In the afternoon the group went to Control Marsh. In Control Marsh were large numbers of Long-billed Dowitchers, Pied Plovers, Rid Plovers and smaller numbers of other water birds. In Control Marsh I saw two Rufous-necked Sandpipers and a bird that fits the description of the Mongolian Plover. An attempt was made to collect the Plover but the shot missed and the Plover disappeared while flying N. In the evening I again ran traplines I and II. After I had completed running the traplines it began to rain fairly hard. I set out traplines III and IV in the afternoon after coming back from Control Marsh. July 1 The morning was rainy. The temperature was about 40° and the afternoon was cloudy. The wind was from the west at about 10 MPH. In the morning I ran traplines III and IV. Then I and Dr. Pitelka ran traplines I and II and took the traps in.
