Barrow, Alaska
June 19 0800-1000 Checked snap trap lines III A + III B,
and live trap sets I + II. 1000-1200 finished
reading Thompson's 1955 Ecology of the
Lemmings. Processed some longspurs and
sandpipers. 1300-1600 helped Holmer
count insects in sod samples. 1600-1720
read Arctic Biology. 1800-1930 checked
trap lines. A light amount of snow
was falling in the Voth Area while checking
the traps. It was windy and cold. 1930-
2030 worked on field notes.
June 20 0800-0930 Counted insects in sod samples for
Holmer's shore bird food availability work.
0930-1030 Checked snap trap lines III A + III B with
Holmer and Bohracker. 1030-1605 Holmer,
Bohracker, and I went to Likroavik Lake, where
Holmer has his study plot. Holmer and I did a
corner of his area. Apparently birds are not
nearly so abundant as last year. Weather
was alternately cloudy and cool and rainy.
1630-1720 Checked live traps. 1800-1930-
Checked snap trap lines III A and III B.
June 21 0800-1005 Checked live traps and took a census
walk along the gas line (between beach
ridge and gas line ridge). 1005-1200 counted
insect samples from Holmer's sod. 1300-1735
picked up snap trap lines III A and III B.
