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.
