CHILD 1951 July 16 Point Barrow, Alaska shot by two men. We stopped them to find it to be a → in velvet. Checked gil's traps and again no catch. Banded 3 Red Phalarope downy young. July 17 Spent the morning observing Snow Buntings and doing miscellaneous chores about the lab. It was a beautiful clear, warm day so it was a shame that we did not get out to the census areas. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. The Buntings are definitely flocking now with many new individuals foraging in the storage area. The fledglings are all over the place. In the afternoon Gil's quickening the traps reset them - he got one Dicrostonyx. Frank & I covered C.E. There were 2 Snowy Owls in the area of one Long-tailed Jaeger. July 18 We all slept late this morning. Started a round of nest watching of Snow Buntings, at 1300 and was relieved by Gil at 1800. Gil & Frank checked traps and picked up some Pectoral Sandpipers and Phalaropes, No mammals, as usual. Setzer returned from East Omnalik with 6 Long-tailed Jaegers of one Parasitic Jaeger form. He got a Red-spotted Blue-throat in atropo[illegible] but did not save skin or skeleton!!! At their camp the tundra was dry but very soft so that they would sink up to the knee walking in it. Bee & Gordo got in frame.
