CHILDs 1951 39. Aug.7 East Ounalik, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska were collected and brought back to Barrow. The plane buzzed after supper and we headed for the lake. At the foot of the hill we saw a bird which we had a glimpse of earlier and which we now suspect to be a Swinhoe's Wagtail. However I missed a shot at it. It was the Wien Cesena plane whose load is 400 lbs so we were only able to bring back the skins. As it was we had to unload extra gear twice before being able to take off. It was great to get back to Barrow and a bath + clean clothes. Aug8 I slept late + spent the afternoon getting my notes in shape. The pilot showed up about 1600 and was going after the gear. As it would take two trips I went along & help load + hunt for the Swinhoe's Wagtail between plane trips. Naturally I was unsuccessful and actually only saw 7 birds in 2½ hours of tramping the surrounding hills. The sun was below the horizon for the first time when we landed at Barrow at 2300. Aug.9 Slept late again; tended bird traps + worked on notes in the afternoon. Got my first haricut in 2 months after a 2 hour wait at 2345.
