AM Verbeek 1966 Journal 33 Barrow. The road (first 1½ miles) ad the next mile or so is characterized by garbage and oil drums. From there on it is free of garbage, except in the occasional can. Till lunch time (½ orange each) we looked for birds, of which Red backs (in the swails) and Semipals (on the bluff) and a few phalaropes in the pools were the only shore bird representatives. On our second stop we saw a Golden Plover (+ nest) and a White-rump Sandpiper (feeding along a lake shore). The flora was much further along than at Barrow - and we saw Dryas, Astragalus, various species of Saxifraga, such as flagellaris and oppositifolia.

Air currents set up a small whirlpool effect, so that all Colembola were found in the middle of the puddle. Steve collected them in a two x one inch vial and the vial was ¾ filled. We also saw a lot of Crane flies walking around and I caught three bumble bees, while they were feeding on Pedicularis lanata. All three of them were carrying yellow pollen. 9 July.

One Golden Plover robbed of two eggs (human predation), one G. Plover deserted; all Longspurs had either fledged or were robbed of their young except one nest of 2 young. There were no Pectorals on the plot and I only saw one
