Journal May 21 Point Barrow, Alaska - to shine at 11 as the overcast continued westerly. All the afternoon and evening was clear and bright. As the sun dipped toward the northern horizon between 9 and 11 p.m. there was a distant broken cloud bands below it. In the morning I worked down the Village Road as far as the magnetic observatory, hunting and observing. A few ducks were visible moving east in the lead but they seemed to be feeding and leap-frogging. To trace the duck frit flights for the past week the following notes are offered. On May 16 which was sunny and fair, as I crossed the ice toward the first pressure ridge, that is about a mile out from the base, occasional flochs were proceeding up the point, over the lead, just beyond the ice pack. Between 4 and 5 p.m. I saw some 15 flochs which contained perhaps 50 to 150 birds each. There were shots every few minutes out in front of Barrow Village area, indicating that the Eskimos were hunting. Two flocks passed directly overhead and they appeared to be being aided.
