F.M. Brock 1958 Journal Aug 9 Cape Simpson, Alaska I kept watching three small sandpipers about camp and could not figure out what they were; so shot one—looks very much like a pectoral and red backed sandpiper combined (probably of course in fall plumage) I will have to check it out back at the lab. In the evening the other two individuals were shot—bill is black and long but legs are yellow. The legs are also very long. Aug 10 In morning went for a walk for about a mile in a N W direction, checked trapline in morning, only longs seen taken. In the afternoon took a walk for about a mile south along the shore. While at this locality I saw one of the site personnel, Philip Wilcox, boating along the water in a boat with an outboard. He beached by me and asked whether I would like to go in the boat further south along the shore; we went about 3-4 miles along shore and beached. Here he took me to some "tar pits" about a quarter mile from the shore. At the location I took photographs of some caribou which had bogged down in the tar pools. Today has been an extremely hot and clear day.
