Sullivan, I.
1962 Barrow, Alaska
17 June
Camped to live traps. Bohneach wanted to get out
away from camp just to see condition of the
tundra. The water running from Family
Lagoon to the ocean has gone down a little -
the top of the track now shown above water.
Travel road to the missile tracking site makes
travel easy in this direction - once you
cross the outlet of Family Lagoon.
Live trap area - could see 7 snowy owls from
this area (at one time). Live traps are still non-
productive (though a little better tonight - capture).
Back to camp around 2230.
18 June Barrow, Alaska
With Rick Ashley (assistant of Bohneach), and
Henri to trap live. 2 Lemmings in live traps -
a new add. 9 and one captive. 4 laggapas in my
tame - returned to meet while we watched a
short distance away. - To snap traps -
Family Lagoon outlet down a little more.
Weather today: warm and cloudy - seems to be
threatening rain. Ashley took some soil samples
with a core device - to check for insect larvae.
Henri collected a muddy turnstone.
Overcast today with a light rain falling intermittently (afternoon). Worked on soil samples and
checked live traps this afternoon. Located a
snow hunting nest in high polygon area where
