AM Verbeek 1966 Journal 90 I only saw one immature Golden Plover, 4 Black Brant, 203 Red Backs and 1 Red Phalarope. On the ocean I saw ±15 Old Squaw and an equal number of Arctic Terns. After lunch Steve and I wrapped the bird and mammal skins in paper tubes and when that was done we decided to go into the tundra to pick up the tangle-foot insect traps. However, we could not get the lease started so we stayed inside and packed more stuff and in general cleaned the laboratory. There was a great influx of eider duck migration today. At one time I saw a long drawn out flock of about 500 birds. 31 Aug. The gray clouds about us produced some more snow today, but at times we had very brief moments of weak sun shine. In the morning we continued to clean the laboratory. We did the same in the early afternoon. Towards 15:00 Steve and I went by weasel to pick up his tangle-foot insect traps. At Micro Met I removed three more stakes and took them home. From Micro Met we drove around Central Marsh to the end of Pileika's plot to pick up more insect traps. Fine snow was falling at the time. Steve collected one Golden Plover (immature) and a Red Back (immature). Golden Plovers were the most common bird around the Marsh followed by Red Backs. We also saw one Pectoral and two Black-bellied Plovers. What they were feeding on I do not know. The
