CHILD'S 1951 June 19 Point Barrow, Alaska (cont) the best while in the air. It appears very difficult to keep one's balance in the air. The man who killed the whale supplied the much-tal or whole-meat. Around mid-night they started & dance but we did not stay. June 20. Talbert, Harry, & I went out. Howled in the measel in the a.m. after which I cleaned up the accumulated birds e.t.c. Betzer returned from Uniate where Micropus was common. He also got Citellus. He reported Canada Geese nesting on sheer cliff along the Colville River. Weather was hot there. In the p.m. we went over to the Village and picked up some Phalaropes from Hopson. Went to the movies and wrote notes in the evening. June 21 In the morning we went south along the marsh to explore that country. It was essentially like LE with interrupted grassy marshes. We had almost reached the pipeline and an abandoned house when a bogie shell broke ad we had to return very slowly. We found one phalarope nest. Few birds were seen other than phalaropes and these were not common in the higher areas.
