No capture.
June 16 Chamberlain and I brought in snap traps -
line I + II, IX + X from 0800-1000. Trapping
results reflected the low in the Lemming population:
2 captures (both 0°) in 1836 trap days. More
Lemmings have been captured by hand: 7.
Worked on species accounts and field notes till
lunch time. Worked on Calcaris captured

weight of the birch ranged from 27.3 to 28.7g.
Brood patches were in evidence and egg laying
had begun. 1530 - 1720 went to Voth area
in weasel checking on trap line condition.
Lines IV A + IV B were under water; lines III A + III B were
fairly dry. Tomorrow these lines will be set.
A 0° snow beating was in live trap. It
flew off upon release. Rohrback, the Entomologist
from San Diego State arrived today.
June 17 Checked live traps from 0800 - 0910 this
morning; once again - no capture. A snowy
owl (0°) flew past from Family Lagoon
area in the direction of Beach ridge. Read
Armstrong the rest of the morning. Read Armstrong
and parts of the Handbook of British Birds (IV) this
