Aug. 9 Patagonian Cape Sabine, Alaska
Rain again although wind has dropped some.
Willows and sedges starting turn yellow in
some areas. Lost my knife yesterday somewhere
on traps line. Gargers (Parantie!) as many on
traps as evidenced by mummy trays and
later animals.
10 Aug The heavy fog lifted this afternoon and
we went to Falcon Rock and collected the
fledgling and one adult gyrfalcon. In
two Violet-green Swallows and a Brown
Bunting. Godwits moving through now.
Fixed Stone Store and caught at the tent
on fire with first load of wood!
Embered T3+T4. Set T5+T6. As much
water on tundra as when we arrived or more!
11 Aug Weatherman and going for a change. Felt
lower all day so didn't do any thing but skin
mine. More godwits flower.
12 Aug Waked at Camp.
13 Aug Walked across the river to the igloo looking for
migrants and to collect firewood. Although
weather was splendid, practically no birds
were seen. Collected a Bintail. Garglers
in all the ponds. Why no migrants?
14 Aug Al Brock replaced Solomon. Raven are
along mine.
