May 30 Moped pretty steadily today. Except for writing
up field notes on the plane trip & a few from
the Litinegea I did nothing all day.
May 31 Worked up the specimens from the Litinegea
River in the morning. Finished notes &
brought them up to date. In the afternoon,
I went out in the meadow for a little
bird see. Went out by Free Lake & Central
Marsh. Visited all 3 of our scopes. Then
traveled to S. end of Beach Ridge & followed
it N for a mile or so chasing a Wheatear.
The chased him back down to S. end
& left him. cruised the S. edge of
the marsh & up gasoline ridge to camp.
Saw no geese. Examined polygon
flops along ridges. Day show no
lemming activity. The scopes are well
opened in places- There is no sign of
lemming activity. One runway loaded
like it might have been active this
winter, but not currently. This
was probably the one runway we saw
when the scope was first made.
A few Longspurs have arrived, a pair
of Snow Buntings was seen and one
Wheatear.
