July 18 Point Barrow, Alaska
Their camp with 15 to mammals in 2400 Trap
nights. An eskimo traded them a yellow-throated loon
for some potatoes! Both parties our wolf. Bald
Eagles were seen by beet gones.
July 19 I relieved Frank at the Snow Bunty nestatoroo
and was in turn relieved by Gil at 1200.
The early afternoon was spent getting some
old government sparrow traps into shape
for use tomorrow during another banding
session. Later Gil, Dr. Delamberfel, and I
went out to LW to set up the blind and
to check the traps. At state 15 three down
young of golden Plover were banded while
the adults put on a most beautiful distract-
display. Later some Red Phalarope young were
banded. A Lemmus was found in the traps
as was a & longspur just beginning to molt.
As she was alive & apparently not fatally
hurt > brought her in for the molt
study. The pair of juncos were in the
same area. We found the Pacific Loon's
nest. The evening movie was "The
Brave Bulls", filmed in Mexico and by
far the best show to date.
July 20 The morning was spent opening the bird traps
and doing other miscellaneous chores.
After running the traps after lunch
