JPMyeus 1976 Journal GRID 2, Barrow Alaska 10 July Censusing grid 2 from 0830 - 1200, as R.B. samples transects 1,3,5. Overcast, 34°, a strong E wind laden with moisture, excessively chilly. What fun. Today marks the first census or transect sample without any C.melanotus displays. Hooray. GRID TOTALS : Polysticta stellari 2 Pivialis dominica 3 Calidris alpina 15 C bairdii 1 C mauri 2 C melanotus 89 Ph C.pusilla 18 Ph fullicarius 8 Stenorarius 4 Calcarius 14 (including fledged juvenile) Plectrophanes 2 TRANSECTS 6-10 11 July 38° at 0700, moderate E wind showing w/ trace accumulation. Began sampling #6 at 0718. After fighting the wind and snow through transects 6+7, I walked all the way out to the far end of #10 and worked downwind for #10,9,8. It proved to be the solution to elicit the old snow-in-the-eyes affliction. No melanotus moths, but a few spastic chaos.
