July 16 Petmegea River, Alaska. Calm in the morning.
Light Fog which burned off shortly.
I made a round of the south meets;
I resumed the round interrupted by the
planes arrival yesterday. Back at tent by
1 PM. Had a lunch & wrote 6 or 7 letters
until 3:30. Then went across the river
& fenced Owl nest #2. & weighed parasites
#3. As we were walking across bar dock
Towards Tent we both heard the plane.
It arrived with Bob Main flying &
Hal Peyton along sight seeing. After several
coffees of coffee they took off with the botanist
Carl (?) Stone who has been here since Paul
left. It seems that Tom Sovalik just
came in from the field & wanted a
little debushing at Barrow before
coming here.
After they were left I made the rounds
north & this got all my nests Today
except LT#4. I think I'll run them all
on the same day from now on &
step one day between. This will allow
time for other activities.
July 17 Petmegea River, Alaska
