CHILD 1951 40. Aug.10 Point Barrow, Alaska Gil and I ran the traps first thing this morning and put up two Bar-tailed godwits that Miles got 2 days ago. Dowitchers are present in good numbers back of the lab. Ruddy Turnstones are common also. In the afternoon after Frank & Gil checked the bird traps, Gil & I checked the snap traps on LW - no mammals but 7 Longspurs. Longspurs were all over the area in flocks from 10 to 100+ birds. Juvenile Golden Plovers were seen as taken. Three Buff-breasted Sandpipers were also taken. 3 Snowy Owls were at the east of LW. A summary of banding to date is as follows: Snow Bunting 281 Alaska Longspur 207 Baird Sand. 35 Red-backed Sand 23 Arctic Tern 20 Red Phalarope 8 Semi-palmated Sand 8 Golden Plover 5 Ruddy Turnstone 1 Old Squaw 1 Tree Sparrow 1 (11 species) 590 Bill Mayer gave album on Arctic Ground Squirrel - very good.
