SPNijas 1976 Journal 15 GRD 3, Barrow, Alaska. 19 June 0535 began tracking ? melanotus - see tracking accent. Moderate cast wind carnage through the morning, with cloudy skies for most of the morning. Dirty-ish weather, but perhaps not enough to keep away those haulengers of tundra carnage - skimo kids with bow and arrow. Yesterday afternoon FAP found that 3 archers had destroyed the porcupine jigger nest just west of GRD 3 - POJ 1 (3). The resident ? has been wounded and is attempting to maneuver today with a 1m arrow through her wrist. Would be amusing were it not such ghastly treatment, and so frequent an end to jiggers nesting within children's walking distance from Brownville and Barrow. I tried to call her today but was unable to do so. Yesterday afternoon, before talking with FAP about the events, I had seen the silhouettes of 3 kids making their way along Village Ridge, obviously wreaking every sort of havoc, particularly with Cummings. It brought back disheartful memories from last summer, and made me regret not relocating the gride. Such is tundra biology. Visions of carnage were shimmering across the ridge. During the afternoon a thick fog commenced with a westerly wind, and then after dinner - 8:18ish, it broke in classic calm, oddly still - the sort of fog that hauls you into its thick horizontal occlusion yet thin layering. As FAP, PC Connors and I walked along (median Ridge at 2000, the fog broke up, even with calm wind. We had been drawn out to tape because of the calm wind and resultant opportunity for tape recording. Beneath the calm cloud was accompanied by unusual quiet, which appeared to be breaking only as we went in in the sunlight. See tape accent. The fox dunlay John Creek has been expanded markedly - see app accent. 20 June 0600 went out to tape, despite a slight westerly breeze. Obtained a few good porcupine trails - see app accent. 0850 began tracking ? melanotus on GRD 3. Weather balmly, sun out, no wind. Only around 1130 did a breeze pick up and clouds (high) move over, carrying a chill. Birds were quiet today, and I think that the pectorals are tapering off, who questions. See tracking
