Childs 1958 26 May Wainwright, Alaska During the night there was a decided change in the weather with the onset of a warm spell. Melting was proceeding rapidly by the time we got moving. Three vagrants, slate-colored junco, Tree Sparrow, and White crown Sparrow were seen and the first two collected. Rausch arranged for us to go out to the shalby camps by dog team, and we left for them about 2. We saw little activity on the ice until we stopped to watch an old man set a seal trap, a description of which is seen under [illegible] seal. Several groups of Pomarine Jaegers were seen. At the first of several shelby camps we visited I collected a & junco which was feeding on fat. This was 10 miles from shore. Loons were also seen migratory and singing in small numbers but regular. It is apparent that they follow the offshore ice in migration more than expected. It should be stated that the results of this trip strongly show that by remaining ashore we miss the main migration. 4 may
