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.
