M. Brock 1958 Journal August 5 Barrow, Alaska a sturdy skin, the other will be prepared tomorrow. The sex of the bird could not be ascertained. Wainwright lemmings were processed during the day. August 6 Trqplines I and II checked only once today, only birds caught. It is very surprising to suddenly notice many buff-breasted sandpipers, migrating through. August 7 was the first time that I had seen one (see report). Two buff-breasted sandpipers a young red-back sandpiper and several longspurs were among the birds taken in the trapline. Prepared another study skin of a buff-breasted sandpiper, saved three others to be skinned. Processed lemmings all day. August 7 Cape Simpson Alaska I was prepared for a trip to Cape Simpson which was scheduled for tomorrow morning so was taken most unaware and unprepared when told that the plane was ready to leave this morning. Arrived at the cape at about 1000. I took a short walk before lunch. Birds seem to be very abundant—Many phalaropes, daintier snail sandpipers and buff-breasted, arctic terns gulls, loons, longspurs and snow buntings
