A.M. Verbeek 1966 Journal 34 Redback Phalaropes - saw no females and the male on the nest in Quadrant 6 still had 4 eggs. On my way home I found an other Phalarope nest about 70 m N. of the plot (4 eggs). In the afternoon, after writing notes, I went out on the Drum Area. Found new Baird nest (#28), along the road to MicroMet. I noticed some feeding Semipalmated Sandpiper and a Redback. Did not see any Peletons today. They have been on the decline ever since the 30 June, when they were everywhere. 10 July. Splendid day, with a W. wind in the morning and early afternoon, and hardly any wind from there on. Sun all day. In the morning Steve and I went to the Drum Area to photograph the Sandpiper. She was on the nest and proved to be very cooperative. We then went to the Baird nest (#1) the female of which had proven to be very cooperative a few days ago when I revisited her. We got lots of pictures of her too. In the afternoon a group of 12 (Bob Hanshaw, June Parks, Jim Gossman, Jack Campbell, Richa Nan Cocheo, John Roup, Ron) and three visiting botanists and myself went to the Point. We had to use a boat to get across the three gap in the shoreline of the lagoon. The whole way we walked on gravel of various sizes, which made walking difficult. About 2/3 of the 3½ mile walk was gravel. From there on there was some tundra, with willow, Potentilla, Draba and lots of Moss. The only birds seen on land were Snow Buntings and a single Baird. We also saw some Old squaw, King Eider and Arctic loon.
