Child
1963
2 August Barrow, Alaska
Worked around lab. Rain
3 August Started live plot at 1530.
6 August Rain started at noon that developed into a real
storm by mid-afternoon. Winds were recorded up
to 34 mph. (28 mean). Rain stopped after supper
and storm was over by 2200 next day. Although
more juveniles are being caught, there is not an
apparent decrease in runways and signs
as there was observed during the 2nd run.
FAP NOTE
Bruce Lisobe stated that he was in Cornwallis1,
Canada in the summer of 1960 and witnessed
a looming high!
7 August Departed for Wainwright at 1530 with Gary
Stevens, Glenn Stanley and Pilot Mel Fidley.
Owls were seen regularly south of the Monument
as well as 2 Red Foxes. Also upwards of
500 Caribou were seen, this plot trying to break
off with the wheels. Wind at 25 mph
in down squalls made Sethy traps a
joy. I think the reason I coming here is
that it feels so good when it is over.
10 August Got 70 lemmings despite weather which
continued bad. Got 60 animals in night run
11 August Got 34 lemmings this morning. They must
be turning nocturnal.
12 August Pulled in traps. Rain in a.m. Got a least
weasel in last trapline picked up.
