Malin 1959 Journal 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 Fog was in heavy when I got up in the morning. It remained all day getting thicker through the morning and
