Childs 1957 Journal 25 June Pitmeza River, Cape Soline, Alaska Ran transects and obtained mice, birds. Strained and blew band in p.m. Taping off after midnight. 26 June Ran transects. Cleared in p.m. Plan with Max Brewer came in mid Aldufer and Tedrow left. Max said I could move to Beaufort if I wanted. Chose to remain here. 27 June Went up river 3 miles to the stream opposite the falcon nest and collected 2 Hudsonian godwits and failed to get the Pacific Godwits with them. It was a long tring walk across the hills and there was almost no indication of mouse activity anywhere. Cantler sums that the low productivity of the sedgews grasses may be a factor in mouse abundance here as well as being responsible for allowing a cyclic build-up at Barron. This is an interesting point that should be followed up. 28 June Skinned birds and wrote notes. 2100 Set 25 traps in old flout snow drift area - no catch 20 " " art willow 11 " " rock outcrop 6/29
