CHILDS 1957 July 1 (Cont.) Point Barrow, Alaska Brewer has taken some interesting surface Temperature readings which we should obtain. On our trip to the point on the 29th- Gil f 9 went to the east of the spit where there was a wrecked PBY. The only birds seen were a couple of Arctic Terns & a flock of Old Squaw. The saltpond area is very marshy yet the lack of phalaropes is astonishing an apparently optimum habitat. July 2 Gil f 9 set out traps while Frank worked on LW in the morning. The weather was warm with a little wind. Sky cloudy. Most of traps were 5 of 88 along the river. Very little bird life in the area. We could hear strange goose, duck, or gull-like calls in the distance. In the afternoon we three covered 88 with the drag line. A few more nests were found but more importantly 3 of the nests found previously were without eggs. The cause of their disappearance was unknown but jaegers suspected as no other predators are around — and a few jaegers! I had no luck with the 5 weasel sets but in running the line 5 of ARC an old-squaw nest was found.
