CHILD'S 1951 23 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
