M. Brock 1958 June 10 Journal Wainwright, Alaska A check of the traplines this morning yielded six birds and one Dicrostonyx. Five Canadian jays were seen and one parasitic, longspur and snowbunting were not noted. The pectoral and semi-palmated sandpipers seem to be going through courtship displays. There is a large amount of loose hay on the tundra due to lemmings activity and also large amounts of hay an exposed in the melting snow and ice sheets. Birds seen today: Arctic terns, pectoral sandpipers, semi-palmated sandpiper, yellow- billed loons, longspurs, snowbunting, canadian jaygers, parasitic jayer and phalaropes, golden plover and some old squaws.

These were difficult to find since quite a few stakes of each transect are under water or covered by snow. One annoying point: Murl Solomon (arkins working for ARL) ran a couple of transects in the very late part of last fall. In doing so he left many traps by transects
