Maker 1959 Journal June 30 Kaolak River, Alaska. Carried fencing to Eagleflat pasture next & fenced same, also fenced in the Longtail in the same vicinity. Treversed repland to Amber flats, found nest there at West end. Walked along to two lakes at East end of flats. Found a Glorious Bull nesting by West kidney Lake and a Longtail a few hundred yards away in marsh. Returned over repland & zig zagged about & finally found Longtail nest which fills in the last gap on the map. In evening fenced in the camp pasture pair. Rain showers in early evening. Thunder, and lightning. July 1 Barrow, Alaska. Fenced in Elephant pear Longtail. Longtail #8 & Glorious Bull. Made the last an extra large enclosure. Then walked up to Sister Lakes & fenced in the parasite pair there. We went out on lake while I was there - Big Sister - Warm day but brisk breeze blowing; this confounded the mosquitoes. Returned to camp by 3:00 3:30. No sign of plane, until 5:30 or 6 PM when it arrived. Took Delo myself & left all our camping gear. Made a low flight to Wainright picked up Dick Holmes & returned to Barrow.
