14 Vertuee 1966 Journal 32 with two young about 200 m NE of the fork, the road i the Cakeater Area. In the Britton Area I noticed a Sandpiper. There were quite a lot of flying insects today, perhaps because there was so little wind. Also saw several bumble bees. I have never seen a bumble feed on anything yet here. Also, they are rather handy creatures, you can see them out on almost any day Saw a Red Fox between the S. end of P's plot and the CRRFL Cabin. The beast looked like a different one, from the adult we saw at the den at Wohlschlag slough. 7 July Perfectly miserable day. I think it rained all night and it continued to do so during most of the day. The sun could be seen at times, in out line, and her warmth was enough to evaporate the soil while added to the fog. I stayed inside during the morning to write some letters. In the afternoon I went to the Drum Area and the mouth of Vott Slough. Found four more nests today, bringing my total for the season up to 51 (independently found). The first phalaropes hatched today, South of Honey Bucket (#1) and On P's plot (#3). In the evening I went out with Tom & Steve to P's plot while I walked and checked for further developments. The weather brought no new birds to day yard changed little in the shore bird situation. 8 July Cloudy early in the morning, but from 10:00 on broke cloud cover and periods of sunshine We took off at 08:15 In Nunnivak Slough, about 5 M.
