M. Brock 1958 Journal Aug 10 Cape Simpson, Alaska Traps checked in the evening and retrieved. Only two more longspurs taken. No lemmings taken during the three day run. Aug 11 Barrow, Alaska Left Cape Simpson at about 1000. Clear day but not as warm as yesterday. Back at lab, I tried to identify the three birds that had been brought back and the only conclusion is that they are still sandpipers I retrieved the two terns by Beach Ridge (V + VI). These had been left out during my absence since I was unable to retrieve them before leaving. Apparently, two ptarmigan which were seen today near the lines, had died off of the bird catches in the traps, see for species. Many traps were missing and many traps had only bird remains in them. There was no trap that contained an untouched specimen. Two snowy owls were seen a distance north of the transect Aug 12 Prepared study skins of the three still sandpipers collected at Cape Simpson and the three buff-crested sandpipers collected Aug 6 at Barrow.
