During the afternoon I worked on habitat features of Transect 5, determining them an approximate % composition of various topographic categories along the grid. (We [illegible] for the late evening (2000-2330). I tried to band the remaining circulating ♀♀ on the two grid with very little success - two birds (see banding schedule). I had a run in with 4 rakino children (brats?) during the afternoon. One of them, Kenneth Brower, in one, when I've had several [illegible] interactions - all of them unfortunate. They began equally so, with them trying to kill jagers along the north edge of Grid 2, one of our surviving pairs which to date have miraculously not been shot. We talked for 20 minutes; kids [illegible]. I followed the common wisdom of the lab in ignoring the kids even though they might be shooting my birds. Today I tried to enlist them in what I was doing + finally enlist their support. At first it went poorly with Kenneth [illegible] underjoking jokes in Estimo to the other three (Ronald Brower + 2 others). But then for some reason one suddenly pulled out a phalarope leg from his pocket, one with an old band (#63-18707). I explained to them what the bands were about, + told them to mail it in to Wash. D.C. Perhaps that was a mistake. They also had a dead ♂ phalarope (#76-134975) which had lost its wing, presumably having hit a wire in flight. Just as I was explaining to them what we were trying to learn by through banding, they spotted a banded ♂ with several [illegible] chicks, all unbanded. They quickly caught three, and in only
