J.P. Myers 1978 C. Mulemotos N.A.L., Barrow, North Slope Borough, Alaska 19 June (cut'd) Activity level on the grid is definitely still rising, with 8? appearing + poorly developed males still cropping up frequently. 20 June Incredible density for activity level of 8 mulemotos recorded today on TIO. In 60 min I recorded 36 hoofs within 200 m of transect lines. Many 8? - 9? choos. 21 June Tracking 8 mulemotos on Grids 1+2 today. See tracking account: our scarlet subtropics because we had a 8? behaving in a receptive fashion: she did not shrink her attention of 3 distinct 8? - i.e. they displayed to her as she moved across their boundary and throughout she failed to give the tail-up, tilt-laid display, or to indicate acquisition via audible vocalization. I was shocked by the fact that she remained near the boundary & showed by 8? that Brian + I were tracking. Further, she remained conspicuous throughout - none of the normal mulemotos quiet stealth. It was almost as if she sought out exposed sites + dallied on full view, all the while near the boundary. At first she was in the territory of the 8? I tracked. She moved across into Brian's male's area after ~15 min. While she was on mine my 8? hoofs over her. Brian's 8? did later. Then finally a 2nd 8? got into the act as she wandered past (8,8). A series of violent fights ensued, ending with Brian's 8? + my 8? disappearing, + then 9? reemerging w/ 8? 3, who then hoofed over her several times. Brian and I searched the territories of our respective 8? without finding them - 25 June Tracking on Grids 1+2 today. In one episode, tracking a 8? on Grid 1 (1978-11) film. 8? remained active throughout. It has a 9? meeting three w/4 eggs. 26 June Flock of 8 8? in the low wet area by T9 this morning 27 June An experiment! We removed the clutch of 9 PS# on PS1 on Grid 3. She is [illegible] when I [illegible], + returned unasspaking + unalarmed handled. We want to see if she will re-lay, + if so, with which 8? does she connect. Nest eggs taken at 12:15 pm. I watched her for 1.5 hrs, during which she repeatedly came in to the nest, behaving as if she expected everything to return to normal. Her first action was to dig up to the bottom, settle down + rustle
