Sullivan
1962 Wainwright, Alaska
25 June (art.) of some of the receiving equipment at the station
(as seen from trap lines). Another low catch
this morning: 3 lemmings. Pair of Stillai
sider seen on various ponds - also a fairly
close approach. Stiff breeze from ocean this
morning.
A 4 snowy owl was seen in a brush barrel
next to one of the huts. Some of the granger
men at the Dew Line Station like to shoot
at the larger birds, etc. on their off duty time.
Saw one individual yesterday with what
looked like a .30 calibre rifle kicking toward
the Kuk - also heard shots from that
direction later.
1875-2210 pulled in trapper - an exceptionally
good take tonight: 9 lemmings, a western
sandpiper. Line 4 particularly productive.
Had to relay the packs in 2 at a time;
it was too difficult trying to carry 4 at
once (heavy + clumsy).
1100-06E (ARL erra) approaching
this station. Finished off hot apple pie,
pulled specimens out of freezer, threw
gear into duffle bag in time to see 06E
land, discharge a passenger, and take
off again. Papers was the new arrival - came
to get soil and clipping samples.
