They have an interest, lobulated kidneys.
No birds were seen. Arctic Fox tracks
were seen out on the ice.
22 May Rausch, Max, and I collected 4 glaucous
Gull with considerable difficulty. We are
still waiting for flying weather to get to
Wainwright. The snow is much wetter
and melting is taking place.
In the Voth area the tops of the
polygons were just beginning to show.
However, near the Trapper Line. The
snow depth was less than 6" and
apparently quite wind swept. No
Snow Owls or Longspurs have
shown up yet.
23 May Wainwright, Alaska
arrived at Wainwright about 5 p.m.
Only a few flocks of eiders and one
gull seen from the plane. A few
seals were seen out on the ice.
No owls or jaegers seen. Some of the
Tops of the high center polygons along
the Shore Type, perhaps, 1/2 mile inland
were melted off. Here scattered
eggs could been seen back of the
village and in a short walk out
behind the Church, we found.
