Child 1959 13 July Patmeega River, 2mi SE Cape Soling, Alaska. Still bitter cold and snowy. All the high hills are covered. It snowed while I was the traps in the a.m. and a half inch of snow covered some of the traps. We are burning our meat to the last tank of gas & keep warm. 14 July still occasional snow squalls. Towards date afternoon it changed to rain which continued until 2 a.m. when Red Chortle Leon flight song indicated clearing. at 4 a.m. heard Paleolated Warbler singing 15 July moved to a hot tent! What a change after 4 days of snowing in the middle of July! Birds active again. Collected a Barn Swallow and the tent. Waited for plane — if it doesn't arrive by 1 p.m. we are walking out, having used all our gas and most of the food. Put off walking until 3 p.m. and got 25mi out of camp when it showed up. Arrived Bazar about 2:00. Noted 20+ Soring Gulls from Lige & Stull Cliff. 2 whales seen on beach, one near Pt. Lay and the other near Hedd Clif. Many dead walrus, only 3 with heads! Saw a gizzly at begg of spit south of Point Lay.
