Remained indoors most of the day but did venture out in late afternoon to assist with bird banding in the drum area. July 4 Overcast with faint sprinkle of snow at 7 a.m., gentle west wind. Light rain in afternoon and evening with sporadic flurries of snow about dinner time. In morning with W. Thompson I censured lemmings on beach ridge, checked bird nests and captured lemmings, making the trip on foot. Afternoon to Voth Station by weasel with Thompson, counted lemmings, collected a pair of gaiqirs and some longspurs. Pedicularis is now in flower on high bare polygons of that area, the first I have seen. This morning I found a Polygonaceae in flower on the Beach Ridge.
