Journal May 21 Point Barrow, Alaska - Since then there have been few or no ducks observed and very little hunting reported. The easterly wind, light snow and continuous over- cast may have been factors that inhibit such movement. This evening from 8 to 11 when I made a trip to the lead there were 4 or 5 long strings of ducks, early in the period, far out in the lead, but none after that. In the afternoon I made the trip by weed To Old Point Barrow, inspecting the site and its bird population. Secured a love longspur foraging there. The grovel areas have frequent openings and on the point near the dwellings several spots of undisturbed ground are bare of snow, exposing the mosses, lichens and a few seed plants. Grasses are sparse there but plentiful on lower ground. The point is continuously eaten away by the sea and a vertical gravel bank is exposed about 10' above the ice. The erosion is working into the old sod and whale bone igloos and in past years may have destroyed many. Weather is usually below freezing.
