Journal Sullivan J. 1962 Pitt Point, Alaska 28 June (cont) on lines II + III before supper. IV was set after supper. Pigs and I saw no owls, 1 pomarine jaeger and 1 parasitic jaeger. The grass looks quite high and uncut. Runways do not look fresh.... indications do not look promising for a good catch of lemmings. 29 June Pitt Point, Alaska Another clear sunny and warm day at Pitt Point. Four lemmings in the traps this morning (2 of each sex). All were taken on lines II and III. I maybe too wet (certain parts of I are below an inch or 2 of water. IV is on the side of the slope leading to the dry lake - grasses are not abundant along IV. II and III are the most promising lines- plenty of grass along each - also small irregularities in the ground surface permit the water to collect in pockets and "ditches". Thus the lemmings have "dry" ground and drinking water close at hand. A few burrows look fresh along these lines. Men at the station have not seen many owls here this year. One remarked on the abundance of owls at Lin 3.
