Childs 1963 6. 13 July Inuvik, N.W.T., Alaska Arrived about 0330 and got a ride into Town (Sndiles). Stayed at the Mackenzie Hotel. Got up about noon, ate, shopped at Hudson Bay Store, a super-market type operation, and waited for Murphy to get up. After purchases at liquor store, we departed for Barrow at 1700. Area around here is spruce-moose biome with birch and some willows. Lots of "Randel Moose" both yellowish white from the air. As noted earlier, we took [illegible], Merster and Cletthorine alongside of airstrip. The delta country & the north looks wild for birds. It would be a good idea to station someone there in late May to check on jaeger & owl migration. 14 July Barrow, Alaska Worked on notes and specimens. 15 July Started live plot operation. Boys out on 11+12. IVA+B noted of 11+12 as they got lost. Slept in Butler Manor.
