CHILDS 1951 Aug 3 East Ounalik, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska One Shell! We shivered until 2300 but did not get everything put up. Aug 4 Bill and Stan ran the trap line in the morning. Catch was 6 A.D.?, 1 subadult, 3 jrs Minotus, 1 Lemmus?, 1 Tree Sp., and 1 Wagtail. We flushed a Red-spotted Bluethroat which I collected and another which got away. When flushed these birds fly 20 yds or so, a light in a brush and then drop to the ground and disappear rapidly, running along the ground. 3 Starmigan were flushed but none were shot. A few Redpolls, and Tree Sparrows were seen. Jaegers and gulls are not as abundant as when we first arrived and they do not come, in to the garbage and carcasses we placed near camp so as to be able to collect birds attracted to it. They have not rasped us at night as they did the first 2 nights. 14 ground squirrels have been taken now out of the immediate vicinity of the wannigans. Aug 5 A Tree Sp. was caught in one of the Hav-a-hart Squirrel traps this morning and it was banded 49-26501. Two squirrels were caught before 1000. It is again a poor day with a persistent drizzle. We ran the trap line at 1030
