CHILD 1951 41 Aug.11 Point Barrow, Alaska The snap traps South of L.W. were checked in the P.M. We checked Bimnick & got a Semi-palmated Plover. A Pomarine Jaeger was present Aug.12 Skinned in the afternoon. Thompson saw Tree or Violet green Swallows on fresh water pond. Aug.13 Checked traps and got 1 Dicrostonyx and 4 Longspurs. Thompson got a Wheatear in a snap trap. Aug.14 Set second run of Calhoun line, a futile effort. Longspurs almost nonexistent where hundreds had been a few days earlier, in fact, almost no birds at all marsh. Ducks were flying over Bimnick in very large flocks and one flock of 200 Steller Eider flew over L.W. Aug.15 Went out to Bimnick at 0830. The weather was cold & drizzly and the wind was about ENE. No ducks seen by 1000 but 2 small flocks of Brant went over. Picked up 2 & King Eiders + 2 Flancas + 3 Kerring (3) gulls Chater brought in a Buffin. Aug.16 Spent the day in bed with a couple of detective stories Aug.17 Dan Thompson gave the seminar on his work with the Lemmings. Aug.18 Jil & I picked up the Calhoun line - no mammals but got a Buff-breasted Sandpiper + a Longspur.
