Childs 1958 25 May Wainwright, Alaska Wind still strong from the east. Still fighting a cold. Ransoh & Myers now have it. Allan Beal flows in for coffee. He reported 2 Snowy Owls after Christmas at the Point feeding on death walrus and ducks, which had crawled between drums for protection. The pilot Gary Hodgebine reported seeing owls, gophers and Stormygan inland south of Barrow in fair numbers not long ago. This is strange considering the lack of these things along the coast. Walked out in the tundra for an hour or so north where it appeared almost opposed. There was no bear sign. Traps had been set for foxes on every large mound. Flocks of Longspurs are moving through in numbers now. Saw 40+ feeding on a bare spot 25 x 10'. The natives missed a Bowhead Whale today because the bomb didn't go off.
