M Verbeek 1966 Journal 35 In small bays along the shore of the lagoon we noticed many invertebrates, especially on the N. end at the deserted village (Nuvuk) There were pools filled with thousands of small (1cm) Ctenophores, small, 1-1.5" long, shrimp like beasts, arrow worm and I did not see any fishes along the shore. 11 July Rain all morning and low cloud cover with fog. Sun after 19:00 Went out to the Drum Area to check nests. The Semipals were as active as always, most of them have young. Also, the Turnstone eggs finally started hatching, about 8 days after the other 3 nests. Found a Golden Plover nest (#14) with 5 (five) eggs. There was otherwise little activity. Saw no feeding birds. Spent most of afternoon inside and the we all left for Central Marsh to pick up Steve's simple foot traps. I checked the Phalarope on B's plot and the linked along the Beach Ridge northward where Steve picked me up on the way back. In the evening I went with Tom to Gashie Ridge where he set two lines of trap while I hiked around the triangle. Along the north side I saw 3 Redbacks, 7 Pectails, 1 Turnstone, who kept following me around during the whole trip, 1 Redback, Golden Plover Pair, Golden Plover immature, 2 Phalarope; 2 Golden Plover pairs (+1 nest, #15, 4 eggs), on the South side, and 1 Golden Plover pair 8 Pectails, 6g Phalarope, 1 Redback, 45 Pectails and 1 Semipal on the West side. There were many flying insects today, especially this morning when I got stung by several mosquitoes.
