Sullivan, J. Pitt Point, Alaska Journal July 9 (cont) and the fox lowered its head - then immediately peered back at me. Apparently it had been sleeping there behind an oil drum. The fox looked a few more times then walked about 3 yards further from me, squatted, and urinated. It then loped away, stopping to look back frequently. Sunday meal was at 1500. After dinner set traps near the oil tanks by the shore. 15 traps were set in a row, 50 ft apart. A snowy owl was in this area. Ptarmigan hen with 3 chicks also there. The chicks were about 3 days old and had some difficulty getting through the grass. The hen stopped and waited for them every few yards. Searched the area for lemmings till 1900 - July 10 0740-0815 checked traps - no captures. A cat operator had seen lemmings between the station and the shore - I followed the "cat" tracks toward the shore. A snowy owl was sitting on a bump of ground nearby. Spotted one lemming but it went underground. This particular area was a maze of burrows. Searched entire area around the tracks. At 1110 spotted another lemming some 300 yards east of the first. This one was to the south of the "cat" tracks about 400 yards west of the 2 tanks by the station. This animal was captured, toe clipped
