JPhyew, 1978 Journal NARL, Barrow, N.Slope Borough, Alaska 13 June a.m. Trip to Nuuk to return 3 wheelers + to make another attempt on the chicky-bird's life. Task #3 successful, #2 a bust. Weather was better with the fog up and wind down. But we did not see the bird. Last night both McCaffery + I saw that it was whatevar size + shape (but more Geositta like in shape than Oenanthe), then bill, lighter outer tail feathers, no sound (absolutely silent) and olive to something a little more yellow below. Too large for a Phylloscopus. p.m. Worked on Grid 3 censuses from 1130-1730. alping active in display, with approximately 5 ha/hourory. melanotos displaying occasionally but I saw no PP on the whole fence. Calcarius in flight display frequently. However there are many floaters around, sneaking around making interception difficult. see Calcarius sp accent. 14 June a.m. got everyone going on tracking & moulators. McCaffery + I worked Grid 1, Shuford Grid 2. But for all the effort there was damn few moulator and they act singularly uncooperative. The birds that we worked on had 0-8 - see tracking data. Brian's was actively displaying, creaking into & others, but David's minus had almost no display activity. see moulators sp accent. Morning was foggy-ish (not excessive), 33°, with a N wind building. I found 4 C.pirilla nests, 8 Calcarius, and one C.alpina while prodding over the grid. p.m. Frank Pielka appeared today, a real vagrant from parts south. In fact he's a fresh out of Germany, so he qualifies as one of our newer distinct visitors. 1430 I went out again to continue work on moulators. Wind is picking up from the cast. 15 June tracking on Grid 1 a.m. and p.m. France NE wind blowing up to 25 mph, 23° at dawn, clear skies. Were it not for today's clear skies it would be unpleasant indeed. The high steady wind and low temperature made
