July 17 Pitt Point, Alaska
While at the two large lakes a group of
about 100-200 caribou could be seen in
the distance to the west. On the trip back
caribou were constantly seen in small
groups. A large group also passed by the
L.V.T.
I should have also mentioned previously
in reference to the Sabine gull colony that
there was also present a ducks nest which
had two freshly destroyed eggs in it.
Once again, it seems, that there is a
great percidity of birds here just as there is
at Barrow this year. This is also accentuated
by the fact that so few birds are being
cought in the snap traps.
Trape lines checked in the evening - no catch.
July 18
Traplines checked in the morning and two
longspurs caught in transect I.
Took walk went along the beach trying
not to go too far from camp since a
plane was supposed to be in today to pick
up Tim and take him to the mouth of the
Colville. I was to go along and then
come back to Pitt Point.
Retrieved traplines with an evening
catch of one bird. Therefore no lemmings
were taken in three days trapping.
