CHILD 1951 July 11 Umiat, Alaska Gil + I picked up the traps first thing in the morning. Catch = 1 Microtus. The wind was slight and it appeared to me to be slightly cooler. The bird song was practically said and we were not so-called continuously by the Wagtails. Very little bird activity seen. I tried upon return to camp to pick up the Robin seen near there but could not find it. We left Umiat at 1055 for Barrow. After passing over the foothills near the river the tundra was essentially the same flat land near Barrow, broken up by lakes and rivers of varying sizes. Some lakes still had ice in the bottom but this condition was the exception. There was some ice along the shore but the ocean + most of Elson Lagoon was clear. Gil + Frank saw 30 caribou from the plane. We spent the afternoon skinning the birds collected at Umiat. July 12 Dept Barrow, Alaska Spent the day on the bird trapping s of ARL. Gil + Frank went out to LW + got Gilo's traps and ran out of gas. Gil set out some more traps in the p.m. The project of caged longspurs for molt data was started. July 13 Bird trapping continued. In the p.m. we checked one nets near LW + ran south East Traps on the high ridge of Brent phalaropus.
