J P Myers 1977 Journal Prudhoe Bay, Alaska 22 July (cont'd) Larus hyperboreus - small groups near airfield camps. Mobbing adults along a few larger lake shores. One chick seen, still very young 20 July. Xema sabini - ~110 adults along SW shore of one lake near mouth of Sag River estuary. Stoma paradisaea - adults foraging by Wet Dock in littoral. 110. Nycticorax scandiaca - fewer than 5 seen since 18 July Corvus corax - seen regularly in oilfield. No joint ed building Cleavis [illegible] - a few adults still feeding young, carrying food. very reduced in density compared to June, largely absent from most of tundra. A few concentrations found, particularly along rims above wetlands. many foraging on gravel pad by wint ducks. 87% molting retrices. juveniles as common or more so than adults. Phlethorhynchus [illegible] - only near buildings. Fledged juveniles present. adults molting heavily. 23 July Walker, Walker, Brown, + Everitt, Dric Murray, Al Johnson, Dan Larsen, et al blew into NANA taking after a roaring ball haul road trip and current to Fish Creek, when they will be doing post-drill recovery work. Actually not all of them go: Walker + his assistant, Norm 3 will remain, and we planto learn something about plants from them. But unfortunately the mailhouse of a Jerry Brown our dominata this place now interferes with work. Finally in late afternoon the crowd managed to reach Wet Dock the Barrow analog - I found that my Barrow analog was a bit misplaced from place, not equally analogous. Broody Calidris Bairdii Hare along the coast. 24 July morning went to Pad's 3+9 w/ Walker, Welder, Everitt, and Larsen. Turns out the area is old stream over (again in low places by Carex equally, and in upper places by a balsam tender type, with heavy frost striking dominated by Dryas, Papaver, Androsace, Silene acaulis, Pedicularis capitata, etc. We birds saw a few Phlebiae dominica flying by. During the afternoon Dave Shoford and I went out to the Kup area to lay transects, only to be supplanted by surveyors intent on destroying our traffic mixing area. So we returned to the Deadhorse vicinity + placed 5 0.5 Km transects in area where trans 6+7 had been previously. 89 fringing flats: as far as 1.5 Km from road
