CHILD'S 1951 24 July 20 Point Barrow, Alaska Frank and Gil went out to the trap line. Spent the afternoon observing the birds in the storage area. A solitary Sandpiper showed up and was seen two different times today in the area behind the lab. Most of the longspurs have moved out although a few showed up in the traps A new snow bunting nest was found, young birds are all over. July 21 Spent the morning trapping birds and closed the traps before lunch. I began the longspur mist watch on LW at 1330 and was relieved by Gil at 1800 July 22 I relieved Frank at 0700 and was relieved at 1310 We spent the afternoon on various odds and ends July 23 Opened the bird traps at 1300 after we all packed in during the morning. Frank + Gil went out to LW to weight longspur nestlings and found them death. This served to confine both Gil's + my observations that something was wrong with the 4's behavior plus the lack of the 81 in helping to feed young. July 24 Bird trapping was continued today and finished at 1230. Gil and I went out 5of LW street Traps and on the way out from the antenna on the mid-ridge to about 500' S of LW 7 broods of Red-backed Sandpipers and one of Semi-palmated Sandpipers were banded.
