Sullivan, Barrow, Alaska Journal June 24 0800-1100 Holmer and I looked for R-Backed's. this morning between Ukpiik and Woblecklag Sloughs. It was cloudy and windy - quite cool. We took 5 rid-backs, including one pair. Female phalaropes were seen in flocks of 7 or 8 this morning. Put up one of the 5 specimen. It is best to wait for the blood to coagel (1-2 hour) before attempting to put up study skins. Counted insects in wool samples this afternoon. June 25 Clear and sunny today with intermittent winds 10-15 mph. Went to Volk Area 0800- 1000 to check on nesting activity. Both the red phalarope nest and the longspur nest had been robbed. There were no broken shells around - making man's likely suspect. Flushed a bird's off a nest returning in the weasel. I stopped, turned off the engine, and the bird returned to the nest within 30 seconds. In afternoon drove out to central marsh - arctic loons were fishing on a body of water. Unusual weather at Barrow: The sky can be completely clear and 10 minutes later a good strong sea wind can move a fog in. Ten more minutes and it is clear again. 1700-2120 went to show - Turbile. 2430- 2250 set out snap trap lines:
