June 18 Putwagea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska A plane flew over at 1430, blue with yellow stripe (Noreman?). The wind has essentially stopped and the rain does not seem to bother the bird activity. Jaegers of 3 species abundant. Longspurs are very busily feeding their young. A pair of Dairitchers were seen. Some kind of alcid dive. 1615 Plane heard along the coast - not seen. Stopped raining, cleared and cooled about 1900. June 19 John and I walked to bluff outcrop west of cabin. Then took boat across the river. Plane came in at 1200, an hour early. Better to Mary was left as was within map. Will I hear about this! Harry Brower came in on plane and will be here until relieved in 2 weeks. Set traps on transects 142. Horn nest has legg now. June 20 Harry and I ran transects at 0930. No catch in either one. Where are the mice? We then went across the river and scouted and collected in the "polygon" area to the SE. Dense grasses on the polygons as the air photo is mis- leading. They are not well developed and more restricted in area than appears on the map, due, I guess, to the gradual merging with tussock types. Small sandpipers more common. Several Dairitchers obviously nesting, were seen and 2 collected. Also seen were Yellow Wagtails, Redpolls, White-crowned Sparrow. A group of Eiders on the way & A. Hope stopped
