Banow, Alaska
Banow at 1200. Ate lunch, put up
study skin of Dirostryx caught at Wainwright
and cleaned fox skull. The fox skull
which was found at Wainright on June 11
(see note June 13) is much larger than the
white fox skull we have at the lab. It
is therefore assumed to be a red fox. It
was found, without a skeleton, just skull
near the Wainwright garbage dump about
1.5 miles west of the village. The muscles
on the skull were still somewhat fresh so
that it was probably an animal killed
last winter.
June 17
Spread peanut butter, bacon grease and clove
oil mixture on the three hundred and twenty
five traps again because some of the traps
were mixed in with Dral Solomon's traps
which were set out last fall.
Took a weasel trip through Central Marsh
and along the edge of most of it. Saw three
gulls, two jaegers, many phalaropes.
Observed one large group of steller eiders
with about 18 males and 10 females in
it; also saw two other groups of Steller
eiders one which may have been the
same as the first group in a different
locality. The other group of Steller
