JP Myers 1979 Journal Grid 4, NARL, Barrow, North Slope Borough, Alaska 21 June (contd) The uplands are no better off than usual for mulemotor or fulicaries, although they are full of Pluvialis dominica and C. bairdii. Grid 1 has the usual complement of P. territoria, lower input than some years. Grid 2 is fairly high, but nowhere near the 1975 peak. I will summarize all this in 2 days when I travel to Berkeley + review the year. In addition to recording I also photographed mulemotor shoot sequences at 5 frames/sec on the Canon motor drive. iAh technology! While I dallied with these mothers McCaffrey, Gellman, and Saranita sought fulicarios nests, especially incomplete cleltches. These are supplementary to play with the question of determinant vs. indeterminant laying and intra-specific nest parasitism. So for we have supplemented 8 3 egg clutches. Of these, only two have laid an additional egg. I am amazed. But it may be due to our finding 3 egg clutches that are complete at fewer than the 4 egg norm. 22 June Went out to Grid 4 at 0530 for more typing, as the wretched weather continues. Temperature 35°F, foggy. It began well, with the Gallinago [illegible] that has set up shop by the Smithsonian cabling at our from atop a telephone pole. Then I stumbled onto a C. mulemotor copulation [marked by background motor] + a cooperative Passerellus sandwichensis ? And on my way to Grid 4 while passing through Baird Alley [an arm of Voith Slough] the C. bairdii put on an all vocal display. But Grid 4 was not the hooting center it had been on the previous day, so I got only a few boats plus some excellent of chain sequences. Finally heading back to the lab at 0800 a group of C. mauri dangled above me displaying on Gasline Ridge. I spent the rest of the day shuttling from Grid 1, where I censored, to NARL, where I did an administrative boogy boogy to get supplies to Meade River. That has been a hassled hassle. Following the demise of the Cessna 180 at Meade (see journal 11 June), the pilots
