J.M. VERBEEK 1966 Journal 78 Canalid beetles. After lunch I went to the same place and I caught some more beetles (total +70). In the rest of the afternoon I caught and counted another 1475 Chironomid larvae. 17 Aug. Foggy morning turning quite sunny in the afternoon. In the morning I walked the Drum Area to gather feeding observations and to get an idea of shore bird movements. The number of birds was low. Most birds were found about one demi inland. South of Honey Bucket I saw no birds at all and there were no birds along the mouth of Vothi Slough. I collected the two eggs of Golden Flower Nest #4, and I removed three nest markers. In the afternoon I caught more Chironomid larvae and I counted them till about 17:00 (catch 1700). Our total is now up to 10,000. After a hasty supper (bowl of soup) I hitched to Duck Camp, the Eskimo tent village, where Steve and Mervel Salomonson, Edna and 3 of her brothers, were waiting for me. We all boarded Mervel's umiak for a trip to Point Barrow, where he had found the nest of Ceyphys griglie in an oil barrel 18 Aug. Spent the morning inside writing notes, counting Chironomid larvae & socializing. In the afternoon I collected more Chironomid larvae but the weather was rather cold so I only caught half the normal number for an hours work (+700). Edna and I counted them.
