CHILD'S 1951 June 21 Point Barrow, Alaska (cont) The afternoon was spent cleaning up mice. Birds. I trapped 3B 2047 again and slooth 8' on the weather tower. Went to bed night after supper + slept thru. June 22 of 0930 we went out to check Gibs traps at south end of LW. Frank & I replaced markers on sides of LW with taller flags. Found 2 phalarope & locate of golden plover nest but could not locate it sharply. & gave birthing act. At the p.m. I went to the Point with the Stanford fish crowd & checked the snowbunting ests. Wind strong & intermittent snow. Very little activity. Found a willow warbler lead under the Peacon. June 23 In the morning the 3ofus staked out part of the marsh transect which lies southeast of LW. A gyrfalcon flew over being mobbed by phalaropes. Took copulation in three birds within about a minute. A cavity of a phalarope nest was found without a long egg. The afternoon was spent trapping in the storage area & on the tundra & the south.
