A.R.h. Pt. Barow, Alaska
June 2 to be king and pacific eiders. A
pair of both of these ducks was shot.
June 3 A male king eider was prepared as
a study skin. Bird was very fat.
June 4 Our male Lagopus lagopus, prepared as a
study skin. Went into the field with
Bill Maher along the east side of the
gas well line. At about ten o'clock,
when we were at the south end of
beach ridge, we saw a Pomarine Jaeger
flying northwest. About one-half mile
further east we came upon a jaeger
seated on the ground—soon it was joined
by another jaeger. Turning from this point
and returning to A.R.h., we obtained two
jaegers about one mile south of the lab.
(See sp account Stercorarius pomarinus)
while at the location of the first pair
of jaegers, Bill and I observed a
flock of about 35 snow geese flying
northwest
No lemmings were seen in the field and
no lemmings were brought in by Chester.
Bill Maher & Tom Cade went to Wainright
and upon their return reported that
lemmings were abundant there. Within
an hour some children caught 31 lemmings.
