M. Brock 1957 Journal June 17 Atkasuk, Mead River Coal Mine, Alaska Transects III and IV were checked in the morning and the only catch was a longspur in line IV. A walk was taken south west of the wargian in hopes of placing some spot traps. No good localities were found. One Pomarine jaeger nest was discovered. I have still not seen a live lemming in the field at Atkasuk. June 18 Checked transects III and IV this morning and also picked up the traps and then rowed across the Mead to set out the last line, transect VI. While setting out the traps near stacker one I caught a microtus alive. Bill Maher went back to Barrow today. June 19 Checked trapline VI in the morning, no animals caught. Collected the red pole nest and one egg since it had been unattended. Egg was cold, nest wet from rain and snow. Light snow flurries in the morning. The microtus caught yesterday is still alive. A longspur nest with a newly hatched young was found near the coal mine (see account) and a pintail nest with 9 eggs
