Childs, H.E. 1951 Point Barrow, Alaska June 6 (Cont) We were issued, by the Lab, the following items: 2 sets Long Johns; 1 Parka; 1 Field Weather jacket; 1 pr. Snowpants 3 pr. Socks; 2 shirts; 3 blankets; 4 sheets; 2 pillow cases; 1 pillow 2 pr. pants. The accommodations are more than excellent. The ice is still solid a good ways out on the ocean. The snow on the tundra is patchy, having melted at the hummocks and here the moss is green but not the grass. The sun came out around 7 and the wind died down but it is now quite breezy (4pm). June 7 In the am we went out in a creasel with Schiller and Setzer to the SE of Camp. We found Longspurs crumming along a ridge and found a nest with one egg. It was collected. Saw 2 Jaegers, Snow Buntings, sandpiper (?), and caught a Brown Laniq alive on the snow. Returned to camp and got more longspurs, a Red-backed Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Sandpiper? Saw Jaeger + Snowy Owl Trip proceeded south to Eskimo graveyard and into the Village to get dogs for Schiller. Spent evening skinning. I honor midnight so the notes must suffer. June 8 In the morning we went out with Dr. Wiggins & two of his transect areas to the south and southeast of camp to the shore of Elison Hagoon. The wind was very cold. Few birds were seen and only a Flappy and a Baird sandpiper collected. 4 Jaegers flew over in the distance. Prepared traps and skinned until when Gil & I went out and set about 25 traps a piece. On the way down I got a Glaucous Gull and a Red Phalarope. The weather changed abruptly about 5 to become quite pleasant. At 9 the Snow Buntings around camp
