June 10 Wainwright (Cait)
Of eroded outcrops where we saw one
Marmot. This additional survivor I
doubt would contribute much to the
Connin story as these rock outcrops
were fairly well restricted to the Beaufort
area and a few miles north. Thus Beaufort
appears somewhat atypical of that stretch
of coast. We saw another grizzly Bear just
south of the site sitting on a snowbank.
There are two too many Bears within
15 miles of the mouth of the Pittungua.
Just north of the foothills we flew over a
flock of 5 Emperor Geese, seeing the
both twins (south end of Kaagaluuk Lagoon)
One Arctic Fox was seen north of Point Bay.
Caribou were scattered along the Coast
south of Wainwright. Two Seawans were settled
not too far south of Wainwright.
June 11 Wainwright, Alaska
Cade and I set 612 Traps on the four
transects here this morning. Jaegers are
present but hardly abundant. I saw
several and Cade more while setting traps.
Last night The boys brought in Dane live
ones, the best ones of which we boast
21. We could set all we wanted from
them.
