4 June Patroza River, Cape Sabin, Alaska
Wolverines, one hunt among the Tussocks.
This is an area of frequent caribou use
and it shows it. While watching the
Wolverine, a pair of displaying knots
flew over and landed. I collected one
here and another later on which I believe
came off a nest. Pete collected a & godwit
which was probably nesting past Second Ridge
Foxes called frequently in the evening. A
wolf left his tracks near the old campsite.
5 June Shifted traps to TzTty. Skinned all day.
Prospects for a good catch seem likely, judging
from the signs of moose activity. Pete
Covered essentially the same area today
as I did yesterday. He saw a pair of Rough-leg
Hawks, and at least 7 knots. No Wolverine or
Caribou.
6 June Heavy rain early this morning. Got a shrew
in Tz. Shot at 2 killdeers outside tent
with no luck. Skinned all day.
Collected the 2 Killdeers. Pete saw a Marmot across
the river, got 4 shrews in traps.
7 June Pete shot several Caribou across the river
shortly after I left to run traps and
census plot #2. Two swans flew over.
Found long tail jaeger nest on west marsh.
Beautiful warm day that grows colder in evening
