CHILD'S 1951 June 24 Point Barrow, Alaska Slept late and banded rest of morning. Got 11 longspurs. In the p.m. we continued staking out the marsh area. Found several nests of phalarope. About 5 movers trapped in evening. June 25 Slept late again as we had no crease + did more trapping closets camps. Continued to find 88 acres of marsh in the p.m. Collected 18 phalaropes on the way in. Trapped all day getting 19 merl birds + 6 repeats. Found nest of a new sandpiper, clutch 4, south of lat. Snow geese flowers. Redpolls seen again. Large mosquitoes seen for first time in some numbers during a calm period in the late after- noon. June 26 In the morning I covered L.E. with Frank. We left him on b.W and came in and stayed until 1530 when we picked him up. I found an Arctic Fox pup, dead in a trap that was still set. He in good shape on the marsh. Flocks of Red phalaropes are still coming in as are Rectoral Sandpipers; the 2 most common species present. Snow Buntings banded & data are 1578 34; Longspurs 21 to 38. Very odd. June 27 I covered L.E. again; Frank L.W. - gill ran trap him + set out 20 bird traps on L.W. Got me longspur in the p.m. We all worked the entire 88 acres of the marsh, making a drag line to note
