1962 Barrow, Alaska.
14 june (not) ran right back to meet while Heine and I
watched from 30ft away. Also saw a limming
near gas line - ran under a barrel then
was chased into high polygon area. Kid in
tunnels there. Worked on sod sampler - Palmer's
insect availability studies.
Worked on sod sampler till 1500. Mullen,
Stevens, and I checked trap lines IX and X
for caracars (from last year). Found one
caracar, many paper bag remnants, very few
scats. Parts of the lines were under a
couple of inches of water. Checked live
traps at 1630. Drove over to Beach Ridge
to pick up Pitelka at his census plot.
Pitelka had been dropped there by Palmer
at 1330 or so. We were a little late for
1630 rendezvous but Mullen did his
best to get us there on time. P. was strolling
back about 1 mi from his plot when
we picked him up.
Mullen, Stevens, and I set out snap traps
III-A III-B this evening (1855-2035). A
beautiful night - clear + cool - the sea ice
looking white + blue over the ocean. The
outlet of Family (Salt no. 2) Kayoon in high
on the weasel - up to the boarding step above
the tracks. Spotted a r-b-sandpiper nest
