length. There were few birds around, except for some
Pintails, we saw Red-bucks (+5), Peletrials (1) and Red.
Phalarope (10). I also noted two Parasitic Jaegers. Before
going home we drove SE along the Gas Well Road to the
point where the tracks go thru the tundra proper. Near this
point, in a drained lake, I found about a dozen flowering
plants of Senecio congestus.
In the evening, we counted more Chironomids.
21 Aug. Sunday. Again a day of fog and no sun.
Janette Gerheart came in on the Wien plane and we
spent the rest of the day showing her the tundra.
22 Aug. Took care of some correspondence in the morning and
then at 10:00 I got the news that at 10:10 I was to
leave for Meade River for an over-night trip. The plane
took off at 11:05 and we landed at Meade River at 11:40.
All the way we flew above the clouds and Gary Sheppard
missed the camp by many miles to the SE.
