Pomarine Jaeger 6
Long-tailed Jaeger 160
Glaucous Gull 2
Snowy Owl 3
Lapland Longspur 60 - most caught in IBP traps
Snow Bunting 15 - the nest in which the extra nestling was placed last night (N/5y, le found on 7-15) was empty except for the egg. Apparently the extra bird fledged
Lemmings: | Site |
Predators: | 1 ♂ Pomarine seems to be concentrating his foraging over Uoth Slough, apparently for young shorebirds since there are very few lemmings there. 150 Long-tailed Jaegers flushed from ground near Barrow airport by Wierny bird.
Longspurs: Ran IBP traps 0830 - 2100, checked at 1100, 1530, 2000. Independent juveniles were common. SY-RG showed up - the only formerly territorial male caught (his nest was predated).
Shorebirds: Caught 2 Ruddy Turnstone chicks near Traplines III-A,B.
722 - 49411 - 19.8g
H12 - 13.8g
Caught 3 already banded Dunlin chicks on Village Ridge north of Site 7:
76 - 134689 - 10.6g
G88 - 9.8g
G90 - 8.9g
