Pt. Barrows, Alaska June 6 Point Barrow, Alaska: F.A. Pitka and Gilbert Greenwood in company. We arrived at Pt. Barrow shortly after 3pm on a Transoceanic plane. The ceiling was low and there was quite a wind blowing but we got in nicely. We were met by D. Wiggins who was able to get no feed, a fact which loomed all the more as we had not eaten since early morning. Wiggins reported that Schiller got the following birds 30 mi S of here last Sunday (37°): Red Phalarope; Harrigan; Sabine Gull; Short-bill Gull. The Snow Buntings have been here for sometime, since mid-April. Nesting activity is going on now and we saw numerous pairs, some with nesting material, some displaying. One squabble between 4 birds (prob 2 pairs but at this point I was unable to be certain) was seen at 6pm on top of one of the buildings between the Lab and the mess hall. No details were noted. There is a pair nesting building in an exhaust pipe hood coming from the work-shop of the lab. The bird is a much duller bird. She was seen several times going into the pipe with nesting material. The flight note reminds one of the note of a Tree Swallow and the song has the quality of a House Finch. Gulls were seen flying over the ice and possibly 2 jaegers. At Fairbanks at 8am we saw Tree Swallows nesting in the Navy Office Building with Violet-green Swallows also interested in the same hole. The latter's tail is shorter than the wings where the Tree Swallow has both about the same length. Also seen there were 1 Bay Phoebe; 1 Sandhill Crane; Heard Fox Sparrow; Yellow Warbler; Swainson's Thrush?

Childs, H.E. 1951 Point Barrow, Alaska June 6 (Cont) We were issued, by the Lab, the following items: 2 sets Long Johns; 1 Parka; 1 Field Weather jacket; 1 pr. Snowpants 3 pr. Socks; 2 shirts; 3 blankets; 4 sheets; 2 pillow cases; 1 pillow 2 pr. pants. The accommodations are more than excellent. The ice is still solid a good ways out on the ocean. The snow on the tundra is patchy, having melted at the hummocks and here the moss is green but not the grass. The sun came out around 7 and the wind died down but it is now quite breezy (4pm). June 7 In the am we went out in a creasel with Schiller and Setzer to the SE of Camp. We found Longspurs crumming along a ridge and found a nest with one egg. It was collected. Saw 2 Jaegers, Snow Buntings, sandpiper (?), and caught a Brown Laniq alive on the snow. Returned to camp and got more longspurs, a Red-backed Sandpiper, Pectoral Sandpiper, and Sandpiper? Saw Jaeger + Snowy Owl Trip proceeded south to Eskimo graveyard and into the Village to get dogs for Schiller. Spent evening skinning. I honor midnight so the notes must suffer. June 8 In the morning we went out with Dr. Wiggins & two of his transect areas to the south and southeast of camp to the shore of Elison Hagoon. The wind was very cold. Few birds were seen and only a Flappy and a Baird sandpiper collected. 4 Jaegers flew over in the distance. Prepared traps and skinned until when Gil & I went out and set about 25 traps a piece. On the way down I got a Glaucous Gull and a Red Phalarope. The weather changed abruptly about 5 to become quite pleasant. At 9 the Snow Buntings around camp

Childs 1951 3. Point Barrow, Alaska June 8 (Cold) snow in high, exposed places sliding back and forth to one another. June 9 In the morning Gil and I picked up our traps in which we caught nothing (ITEC = 20 traps). The three of us then set up a transect area along the mid ridge. This area contains 20 acres, 2 wide x 10 long. It just covers the ridge in width, running off into the snow on both sides. Most of the snow has melted off the ridge except in low pockets. Schiller reported that when he arrived on May 31 there were no bare areas on the tundra but within a few days spots were open on the ridge. This is quite amazing considering the nesting activities that have taken place in the Longspurs by June 7. We skinned for most of the afternoon and went out at 16:30 to set traps near the transect area (ITEC = 12 traps). June 10 Spent the morning doing odds and ends in the lab after having slept until 9:30. In the afternoon we picked up the traps and again no success. We then set up a transect area on the edge of Elson Lagoon. On the way in we collected some Longspurs, Buntings, and Baird Sandpipers. East Pomerine Jaeger and Arctic Tern. Skinned in the evening after the shoot. June 11 I spent the morning collecting Longspurs and snow bunting females south of camp in the barrel dump. There were Baird Sandpipers also present with 2 Red Phalaropes. 2 jaegers flew over. A Snow Owl was found dead in the snow, probably starved as it was very emaciated. In the afternoon Schiller, Setzer and the 3 of us went out to the point to hunt ducks

Childs 1951 June 11 Point Barrow Alaska (cut). But the ice has not spread up and none were seen. In the deserted pod of whole bone huts we found 4 snar hunting nests. A Solair Gull flew over. There were many whale skulls on the point June 12 We spent the morning re-surveying the Elson Transect. Both Gargano, brant flew over. A Snow Owl was seen on the way out. In the afternoon I worked the snar Bunting in the storage area near the lab while the others went into the Village. They reported many ducks migrating and Frank took an Old- Squaw. Arrangements were made to get 5 Phalaropes a day for the next 6 weeks. We put up a few skeletons apiece but there is lots more of Schiller stuff left. June 13 In the morning [illegible] and I made the first survey on the Elson transect. There appeared to be transient birds of many species. There was much activity on the marshes, Red Phalaropes arrived in numbers. May flocks of old-squaw and several of eiders flew over. Arctic Terns were summer over the marsh. I collected a King Eider at the marsh. A White-fronted Goose and several Brant flew over. We saw several unidentified small sandpipers in various areas. The marsh has melted considerably during the last week so that there is now water up to a foot deep and 100 ft. indianter. In the afternoon we added 20 more acres to the mid-

CHILD'S 1951 6. June 13 Point Barrow, Alaska (Cwt). ridge transect. The snow is very soft on the S side of this ridge making very difficult walking. June 14 We spent the morning at the Point mapping and checking Snow Bunting nests. In the afternoon Gil + I set a Colborn line north along the ridge from L.W. Trapping has been so successful with the Buntings that we moved some traps out to L.W. We also set some live traps at the other end of the transect. Skinned in the evening. Hobson brought us 5 Red Phalaropes as per order. June 15 Schiller and I went down along the coast from the village in the morning. The country is flatter but more difficult to wade than that in our areas. At the farthest point south the tundra was divided into hummocks, about 10 ft square. These hummocks were riddled with old lemming burrows and completely covered with droppings. No new sign was in evidence. Dwarf willow was present and just beginning to bud out. Buttercups were found in blossom yesterday and today. There was one fair size pond on which there was a flock of 10 Steller's Eiders and many Red Phalaropes of which 12 were collected. Buntings were rare and Longspurs were uncommon. In fact there was a dearth of bird life

CHILD'S 1951 6. June 15 Point Barrow, Alaska (Cont) in general. The weather was warm with almost no wind so as expected to find a lot of migrants. But that was not the case. Only a couple of flocks of ducks were seen over the ice. June 16 In the morning Gil and I ran the Calkhorn line and covered L.E. No catch for the second day. Golden Plover and Dowitchers, and pintails arrived today. Several Steller Eiders on the marsh. We caught a collared lemming alive at the south end of L.W. I covered the snow bunting situation in the afternoon after which Gil & I set out 49 line traps and 48 snaptraps baited with walnuts. On the way out the fog came in so that when we crossed the marsh we got into deep water. Gil shot a Steller Eider & with a half load and I got about 10 Red Phalaropes with one shot, none of which we were able to get. An airplane dropped a bundle to us which we later found was a can of grease for a moose 10mi south. We didn't get it either because of the deep water. Fog was very thick still at 2300. Schiller showed Soda- Chromes after the movie. June 17 Slept in this morning. In the p.m. ran the Calkhorn line for the third day with no success. No catch in the other traps either. Snow owl seen again. Fog all day but cleared about 1200. Thompson & Rose reported Buddy

CHILDY 1957 June 17 Point Barrow, Alaska (cont) Turnstones in their areas today. They found nests of Snow Bunting, Baird Sandpiper, and Longspur. June 18 Frank covered LW+9 LE in the am. Buff-breasted Sandpiper and Northern Phalarope seen today. A different passerine flowerer mid-ridge - might have been a Red-poll. Gil set out traps last night at midnight & picked them up this a.m. No success. Rae got 2 Common (Lemmus) yesterday. At 1300 we started a 24 hour record of the activity of pair B Snow Buntings in the storage area. Frank took the afternoon while Gil +9 hunted longspurs for stomach contents near the pipe-line. June 19 Continued the snow bunting project until 1300. Gil +9 went out to LW where he checked traps & covered LE. On the way in we hunted on the marsh and got 3 Northern Phalaropes. We had just picked up a bird when that transgressor went on. It was a long and tedious walk back. Harry was not happy about it. In the evening we went to the Cabin's whaling Celebration NELIKUTUK. This consisted of bouncing individuals on a set of walrus skins, 30' in the air to determine who could do the most intricate maneuvers

CHILD'S 1951 June 19 Point Barrow, Alaska (cont) the best while in the air. It appears very difficult to keep one's balance in the air. The man who killed the whale supplied the much-tal or whole-meat. Around mid-night they started & dance but we did not stay. June 20. Talbert, Harry, & I went out. Howled in the measel in the a.m. after which I cleaned up the accumulated birds e.t.c. Betzer returned from Uniate where Micropus was common. He also got Citellus. He reported Canada Geese nesting on sheer cliff along the Colville River. Weather was hot there. In the p.m. we went over to the Village and picked up some Phalaropes from Hopson. Went to the movies and wrote notes in the evening. June 21 In the morning we went south along the marsh to explore that country. It was essentially like LE with interrupted grassy marshes. We had almost reached the pipeline and an abandoned house when a bogie shell broke ad we had to return very slowly. We found one phalarope nest. Few birds were seen other than phalaropes and these were not common in the higher areas.

CHILD'S 1951 June 21 Point Barrow, Alaska (cont) The afternoon was spent cleaning up mice. Birds. I trapped 3B 2047 again and slooth 8' on the weather tower. Went to bed night after supper + slept thru. June 22 of 0930 we went out to check Gibs traps at south end of LW. Frank & I replaced markers on sides of LW with taller flags. Found 2 phalarope & locate of golden plover nest but could not locate it sharply. & gave birthing act. At the p.m. I went to the Point with the Stanford fish crowd & checked the snowbunting ests. Wind strong & intermittent snow. Very little activity. Found a willow warbler lead under the Peacon. June 23 In the morning the 3ofus staked out part of the marsh transect which lies southeast of LW. A gyrfalcon flew over being mobbed by phalaropes. Took copulation in three birds within about a minute. A cavity of a phalarope nest was found without a long egg. The afternoon was spent trapping in the storage area & on the tundra & the south.

CHILD'S 1951 June 24 Point Barrow, Alaska Slept late and banded rest of morning. Got 11 longspurs. In the p.m. we continued staking out the marsh area. Found several nests of phalarope. About 5 movers trapped in evening. June 25 Slept late again as we had no crease + did more trapping closets camps. Continued to find 88 acres of marsh in the p.m. Collected 18 phalaropes on the way in. Trapped all day getting 19 merl birds + 6 repeats. Found nest of a new sandpiper, clutch 4, south of lat. Snow geese flowers. Redpolls seen again. Large mosquitoes seen for first time in some numbers during a calm period in the late after- noon. June 26 In the morning I covered L.E. with Frank. We left him on b.W and came in and stayed until 1530 when we picked him up. I found an Arctic Fox pup, dead in a trap that was still set. He in good shape on the marsh. Flocks of Red phalaropes are still coming in as are Rectoral Sandpipers; the 2 most common species present. Snow Buntings banded & data are 1578 34; Longspurs 21 to 38. Very odd. June 27 I covered L.E. again; Frank L.W. - gill ran trap him + set out 20 bird traps on L.W. Got me longspur in the p.m. We all worked the entire 88 acres of the marsh, making a drag line to note

CHILD'S 1951 June 27 Point Barrow Alaska (Cnt) rests. It was an immense + tiring job but well worth the effort. We watched a very interesting territorial fight between 2 old-squaws on a pond at 5 seals fourth quadrant. Golden flowers were common today. Phalaropes still flocking. June 28 In the morning I made a Gov. Sparrow trap while the others slept in. We set out the teepee and hunted in the p.m. over near the salt pond. I got a spectacled Eider. Very few phalaropes in that area. We skinned & wrote notes in the evening. June 29 The morning was spent at the point checking The Snow Bunting situation. I made some measel sets there & done more south of ARL in the p.m. Frank started the 24 hour cycle of the longspur on LW at 1900. Gil & hunted on the ridge near the gypelins getting a golden flower + eggs, a Ruddy Turnstone & with B.P., longspur, & phalaropes. June 30 I relieved Frank & spent the day watching the longspurs. Gil checked banded birds of ARL in am & hunted in p.m. July 1 Slept in & wrote letters in a.m. McCarthy commented recently on the fact that the ridge we are working on was at one time Pt. Barrow and the marsh is an old lake bed. May

CHILDS 1957 July 1 (Cont.) Point Barrow, Alaska Brewer has taken some interesting surface Temperature readings which we should obtain. On our trip to the point on the 29th- Gil f 9 went to the east of the spit where there was a wrecked PBY. The only birds seen were a couple of Arctic Terns & a flock of Old Squaw. The saltpond area is very marshy yet the lack of phalaropes is astonishing an apparently optimum habitat. July 2 Gil f 9 set out traps while Frank worked on LW in the morning. The weather was warm with a little wind. Sky cloudy. Most of traps were 5 of 88 along the river. Very little bird life in the area. We could hear strange goose, duck, or gull-like calls in the distance. In the afternoon we three covered 88 with the drag line. A few more nests were found but more importantly 3 of the nests found previously were without eggs. The cause of their disappearance was unknown but jaegers suspected as no other predators are around — and a few jaegers! I had no luck with the 5 weasel sets but in running the line 5 of ARC an old-squaw nest was found.

July 3 Point Barrow, Alaska Today is a day which will last long in my memory for today was Jaeger day. The wind was blowing strongly and cold off Elson Lagoon as Gil and I began dragging LE for nests and it had been raining periodically. The first half of the east side proved uneventful except for the possibility of a Redback Sandpiper nest. As Dave approached stake 5 Gil called over to me and less than 200' away were about 10 Jaegers! They flew up and some came over & investigated me, their unbounded curiosity driving them within 10' of me! An unprecedented bit of jaeger behavior! Although the juns were in the weeds a 1/3th of a mile away I quickly returned to the vehicle for them. The jaegers had dropped down again off to the transect so Gil & I quietly stalked towards them, 9 to the shore side & Gil 50' & the west. There was continual movement among these "pirates of the tundra", me picking up & flying 25yds & dropping down again, apparently feeding activity judging from stomach contents. When they finally flew, again they came close to me

July 3 Point Lanas Alaska. and before the smoke had cleared away from the scene of battle, 5 jaegers had given their all for science. When first seen, we thought that the flock consisted of all 3 species, at least Long-tailed and Parasitic. However the collected specimens show marked variation in the length of the central tail feathers upon which snap field identification is based. All were Long-tailed Jaegers. Afterwards we finished censusing the area. Went back to the area where the Red-backed Sandpipers were before and flushed the 7. Another surprise was in store for me on this already outstanding morning: 4 downy young were in the nest apparently recently hatched. Gil went & brought the weasel up which had the sands, during which maneuver, a bogie wheel broke. Not undaunted by this or the lack of pliers, the young were banded. On return to the root which I had marked with my notebook was a good indication of the protective coloration of the downy young plumage. With the marker within a foot of the nest it was nearly a minute before we could pick.

CHILD'S 1951 July 3 Point Barrow, Alaska out the nest young from the surrounding clumps of mosses & lichens! The young did not struggle or call while being banded although they wanted being placed on their backs. The adults called from nearby. The & was brooding them whom first seen & returned to them while Gil went for the bands. The wind being so strong may have been the cause. We limped back to camp with the missing logic. Frank started the watch of the nesting longspurs 5 of ARL in the p.m while Gil & I worked on accumulated specimens. July 4 The morning started with a bang. I got up at the most ungodly hour of 0615, got chow and relieved Frank on the longspur watch. During the morning a Redpoll & a flock of 30 Brant flew over. In the afternoon Gil relieved me and treated on my lance as an icicle and gauger shooter in the arm of Morpheno. Rose got a Pacific loon last night, swimming out to get it which makes him a better man than Dan. July 5 It was a most unpleasant morning so we slept- at least we were sure it was snow so we did not go out to check. I set out traps in

CHILD5 1951 July 5 Point Barrow, Alaska quadrat fashion 5 of ARL. Spent the afternoon looking at the Snow Buntings situate and banding young in the nest. Gil & Frank went out to LW. July 6 Spent the day trapping and making traps. The birds 5 of ARL continues to show up in the traps in numbers. 65 records were gotten! The Longspurs are well into the molt and records on the molt sequence were started. Rose got a B King Eider. Frank & Gil went out to LW in the a.m. July 7 Frank & I covered LE while Gil checked the traps in the morning. The Longtail Garganey were still present, again 60-11 of them. From what we can gather the & phalaropes have left the area as we have not seen any in several days. Very strange Longspur behavior on LE. In the p.m. I set the bird traps out and now have 37+1g'sp. trap in operation. I did not get as many as yesterday as the weather was colder & the wind stronger. A dog has apparently found the bird hunting good in the traps as 5 were smashed at 2030. We found a Red-throated Loon's nest with 2 eggs SW of camp with 2 eggs. July 8 I got up around 1015 and ran the traps. The dog had been at it again and smashed a few more traps. Spent the afternoon getting the banding dope in order & running the traps. Ceased banding at 2030. The We went out at 0130 this morning & has been moving by all day driven by the nest wind.

CHILD'S 1951 400ft. July 9 Umiat, Alaska After a morning of preparation, the three of us left Barrow by plane at 1235 for Umiat. Arrived at Umiat at 1335. Here we were greeted by the camp foreman, "a most pleasant chap", got bunkes in the Transient quarters and went out to the west of camp. We were surprised to find Brewer, MacCarthy and 2 of arnolds group who have been unable to get out. Umiat is a small camp, 20 buildings and 65 mm, located in the flat of the Colville river valley which is at this point about 5 miles across between the two rows of hills. The vegetation is more superior than at Barrow. Several species of willows and alders make up the dominant vegetation along the water courses and on the south facing slopes. Many species of flowers are in bloom. A small huckleberry (Vaccinium?) grew on the hummocks. The marshy areas are more varied in plant species than at 88 at Barrow, Sunch grasses being predominant. Many pot holes and small lakes and 50 or so caribou were seen but almost no ducks using them. Moose and caribou droppings were seen and a rotten shaped [illegible] in piles were found among the willows - perhaps ptarmigan. We were greeted by alarm notes of the Alaskan Waytail and Redpolls as we left camp and they hardly ever left us,

CHILDS 1951 July 9 Umiat, Alaska The Waytail being most persistent. Tree Sparrows were also common. Gil set out 60 traps in the evening during which we were puzzled but finally saw the flight song of the Wilson Snipe. M. m. inrus M. g. e. conomus July 10 We picked up the traps & got 3 Microtus (T. leithi) We then split up and hunted. Went towards the foothills to the north and found Tree Sparrows, Alaska Lapwings, Pectoral Sandpipers, and Redpolls common. Also seen: 1 Raven Robin 4 Glaucous Gulls N. Phalarope Willow Warbler Savannah Sparrow Wilson Snipe Grey-checked Thrush ♀ Pintail Semipalmated Plover In the afternoon Gil & I walked to Umiat Mountain where we found active Ground Squirrel burrows but saw no squirrels. A White-crowned Sparrow was the only new species seen. An owl, rather large, with a reddish banded tail was flushed from the willows, slightly smaller than a Red-tail Hawk. at 1900 Gil & I set out 55 traps. Saw a 4 Baldpate with at least 5 young and a hawk, prob. Dovekie in the distance. The moquitos are notable by their abundance and voracious appetite which necessitates a head net. This reduces visibility and with a cloud of insects makes for bad navigation & bird spotting

CHILD 1951 July 11 Umiat, Alaska Gil + I picked up the traps first thing in the morning. Catch = 1 Microtus. The wind was slight and it appeared to me to be slightly cooler. The bird song was practically said and we were not so-called continuously by the Wagtails. Very little bird activity seen. I tried upon return to camp to pick up the Robin seen near there but could not find it. We left Umiat at 1055 for Barrow. After passing over the foothills near the river the tundra was essentially the same flat land near Barrow, broken up by lakes and rivers of varying sizes. Some lakes still had ice in the bottom but this condition was the exception. There was some ice along the shore but the ocean + most of Elson Lagoon was clear. Gil + Frank saw 30 caribou from the plane. We spent the afternoon skinning the birds collected at Umiat. July 12 Dept Barrow, Alaska Spent the day on the bird trapping s of ARL. Gil + Frank went out to LW + got Gilo's traps and ran out of gas. Gil set out some more traps in the p.m. The project of caged longspurs for molt data was started. July 13 Bird trapping continued. In the p.m. we checked one nets near LW + ran south East Traps on the high ridge of Brent phalaropus.

C H I L D S 1951 July 13 Point Barrow, Alaska (Cont) Dr. Paul Voth gave a seminar on the Biology of Marchantia in the evening. July 14 After sleeping late I went to look for a seal reported washed up on the beach towards the Village. Apparently it had been picked up by the Eskimos. John Williams took me down and showed me his equipment for the study of magnetism. The equipment was installed in an insulated house on a marble table. By use of photographic paper + chromatic 24 hour records are taken on declination. In the afternoon we went out to the trap line but got no mammals. A few phalaropes were collected. 2 Parasitic Jaegers were seen on the ground, dark phases. The wind has been high and the weather as cold as we have seen it since we arrived. Almost ocean ice is left due to the offshore east winds. After the movies Mayer, Chambers, Boelke, Gil & 9 collected invertebrates along the shore. There were several species of crab found; a sercid worm, other polychaetes, Echinus at another similar thing, several sponges, 2 jelly- fish, a nudibranch, several amphipods, pychnogorids etc. Gil & 9 played Ken and Frank at bridge during which we bid + made 2 small slans in a row!

CHILD 1951 21 July 14 Point Barrow, Alaska at midnight the recent plane load of alcohol to Frank Talbert began to flow freely and the joint started jumping. Things slowed down at about 2:30 and picked up again at 8:00 when the non-participants razed the home crazy in retaliation. It need hardly be added - "a bunch of the boys were whooping it up." July 15 In the p.m. I checked the various nests back of the lat. 3 new Snar Bunting nests were found. The Baird Sandpiper nest had hatched, one egg hatching. I got the 7 in < nest trap. Gil went out with Dan Thompson and Frank walked over to L.W. July 16 Dave could not get a viseal this morning, we caught up on our notes. After this I marked out some new bird trap site farther out S of ARL and moved traps at them so as to be prepared for the next session of hopping. 2 blown eggs of the Baird Sandpiper were found and treated. The weather was very overcast, warm and not windy, which resulted in many mosquitoes being present. In the afternoon we covered 88. All nests were empty and no new ones found. No young were seen. A caribou was seen on 88 and another was

CHILD 1951 July 16 Point Barrow, Alaska shot by two men. We stopped them to find it to be a → in velvet. Checked gil's traps and again no catch. Banded 3 Red Phalarope downy young. July 17 Spent the morning observing Snow Buntings and doing miscellaneous chores about the lab. It was a beautiful clear, warm day so it was a shame that we did not get out to the census areas. Oh well, tomorrow is another day. The Buntings are definitely flocking now with many new individuals foraging in the storage area. The fledglings are all over the place. In the afternoon Gil's quickening the traps reset them - he got one Dicrostonyx. Frank & I covered C.E. There were 2 Snowy Owls in the area of one Long-tailed Jaeger. July 18 We all slept late this morning. Started a round of nest watching of Snow Buntings, at 1300 and was relieved by Gil at 1800. Gil & Frank checked traps and picked up some Pectoral Sandpipers and Phalaropes, No mammals, as usual. Setzer returned from East Omnalik with 6 Long-tailed Jaegers of one Parasitic Jaeger form. He got a Red-spotted Blue-throat in atropo[illegible] but did not save skin or skeleton!!! At their camp the tundra was dry but very soft so that they would sink up to the knee walking in it. Bee & Gordo got in frame.

CHILD'S 1951 23 July 18 Point Barrow, Alaska Their camp with 15 to mammals in 2400 Trap nights. An eskimo traded them a yellow-throated loon for some potatoes! Both parties our wolf. Bald Eagles were seen by beet gones. July 19 I relieved Frank at the Snow Bunty nestatoroo and was in turn relieved by Gil at 1200. The early afternoon was spent getting some old government sparrow traps into shape for use tomorrow during another banding session. Later Gil, Dr. Delamberfel, and I went out to LW to set up the blind and to check the traps. At state 15 three down young of golden Plover were banded while the adults put on a most beautiful distract- display. Later some Red Phalarope young were banded. A Lemmus was found in the traps as was a & longspur just beginning to molt. As she was alive & apparently not fatally hurt > brought her in for the molt study. The pair of juncos were in the same area. We found the Pacific Loon's nest. The evening movie was "The Brave Bulls", filmed in Mexico and by far the best show to date. July 20 The morning was spent opening the bird traps and doing other miscellaneous chores. After running the traps after lunch

CHILD'S 1951 24 July 20 Point Barrow, Alaska Frank and Gil went out to the trap line. Spent the afternoon observing the birds in the storage area. A solitary Sandpiper showed up and was seen two different times today in the area behind the lab. Most of the longspurs have moved out although a few showed up in the traps A new snow bunting nest was found, young birds are all over. July 21 Spent the morning trapping birds and closed the traps before lunch. I began the longspur mist watch on LW at 1330 and was relieved by Gil at 1800 July 22 I relieved Frank at 0700 and was relieved at 1310 We spent the afternoon on various odds and ends July 23 Opened the bird traps at 1300 after we all packed in during the morning. Frank + Gil went out to LW to weight longspur nestlings and found them death. This served to confine both Gil's + my observations that something was wrong with the 4's behavior plus the lack of the 81 in helping to feed young. July 24 Bird trapping was continued today and finished at 1230. Gil and I went out 5of LW street Traps and on the way out from the antenna on the mid-ridge to about 500' S of LW 7 broods of Red-backed Sandpipers and one of Semi-palmated Sandpipers were banded.

CHILD'S 1951 July 24 Point Barrow, Alaska (Coit) It started to rain around noon and kept up all afternoon getting worse all the time. This has been the first real rain we have had. The Snow Owl are regular occurrence near L.W. now, another being seen today. July 25 It rained again all day so that not much was accomplished. Gil and I checked the traps we set yesterday with no luck except a juvenile longspur. On the way out we caught and landed 4 broods of Baird Sandpipers where yesterday we got all Red-backs, a very unusual occurrence yet undoubtedly due to chance. July 26 I started the nest watch on the snow bunting nest south of the lab that we had watched last week. The weather was warm with little wind so that mosquitoes were minimal. It rained hard twice during the watch. Eiders were passing over Binnick in tremendous numbers, some flocks over a mile in length! Gil relieved me at 6. Unfortunately the young were killed when the nest was slammed later in the evening which, of course, conclude this watch. July 27 After lunch Gil & I opened the bird traps and checked the Old Squaw nest. One young had hatched and it was banded. The evening seminar was by Dr. Gerald M. MacCarthy on Permafrost. Gil & Frank set out 3 owl traps near L.W.

CHILD S 1951 26 July 27 Point Barrow, Alaska in the afternoon and gil + 9 checked them after the rain. The traps at the south end of L W were picked up; catch = 3 jwv. longspuro and 1 jwv. Red-backed Sandpiper. I collected a juvenile Golden Plover near 88. The eiders did not appear to be moving along Elen Lagoon today with anywhere near the numbers seen yesterday. July 28 Gil + 9 ran the traps in the morning. The old square not was deserted. The rest of the morning was spent skinning. July 29 Gil, Lee Talbott (a Col. student working in the mess hall) and I went out to check the traps on L W in the afternoon. There were a few Black-bellied Plovers with the golden A. jaoviale phalerope was collected. In the traps I got a jwv. Red-backed Sandpiper and there was a 9 Dicrastonyx in one of Thompson's live traps. At Birnick I got a Black-bellied Plover and a jwv. Ruddy Turnstone and found a Red-throated Loon. July 30 I went out to Birnick with the archaeologists and counted the ducks passing over the duck camp. The totals and a map of the area are to be found on the following pages. Almost all were King Eiders, a total of 11,460 birds being estimated passing the area in 9 hours and 48 minutes. The presence of a flock was almost invariably announced by gun fire from an Eskimo camp at Grant Point over which, apparently, all the ducks pass. The problem of estimation of numbers was a big one and the system I tried to follow

CHILDs 1951 July 31 Bint Barrow, Alaska Bill Mayer and I left Barrow via the Trans-ocean Neesman pontoon plane, Pilot P.T. Soda, for East Ammalik at 1130. The trip south was uneventful. Birds seen from the air were 4 Snowy Owls near the Drank River, Glaucous and Sabine gulls, Arctic Tern, Loons diving on a large lake. We landed about an hour later on a lake about 3 mi. east of the camp. Livingstone and friend were camped in a tent on the lake shore. They left us a large supply of food and took the tent with them. They had found a large fossil bone. (mammoth?). We loaded our gear in the weasel and limped slowly to camp. Here the wannigans made a splendid field set-up. The cook wannigan had more food than we could eat in 6 months and was well equipped with utensils plus a large table which was entirely for working and eating. At camp we were bothered very little by flies or mosquitoes. The weather was warm and sunny. We spent the afternoon getting settled and investigating near camp. Both Parasitic and long-tail jaegers were around camp as were Ravens and Glaucous Gulls, Wagtails were common all over as were Red- polls. A mammal was seen swimming in the

SSE Barrow, Alaska (1000) Mayr and I checked the traps and got 4 Microstrix, 1 Redpoll, 2 Wagtails, 1 Tree Sp. Ran trap line again at 1830, got 1 Microstrix 1 Tree Sp, 2 Wagtails. In the afternoon I followed the stream to the east. At one rocky outcrop I found numerous plant fossils and coal lenses. A pike (?) fry was caught in the stream and several large fish seen. As the wind was quite strong there was little bird activity but Redpolls or Tree Sparrows were flushed out of the willows at regular intervals. Wagtails are the most common birds here, yet only jird birds have been seen. Redpolls are most followed by tree sparrows. I flushed a bird which I take to be a Red-spotted Bluethroat from a willow area twice but I was unable to shoot it. The tail was the outstanding character that I could see and looked [illegible] like this. The rest of the bird seen was brown on the back. Ground squirrels are very abundant

CHILD'S 1951 32. Aug 2 East Dumalik, 110 miles Barron, Alaska all day long. A pair of parasitic jaegers investigated the garbage dump but did not land. Wagtails passed thru off and on. A group of 4 Redpolls stopped on top of one of the Wannigans and a Tree Sparrow juvenile fed on the collards we threw out. Aug 3 During the night I was awakened by jaeger noise and shot me Parasitic Jaeger through the window of the wannigan. They appear to be active all night long. It was still s raining in the morning so we took four ground squirrels in camp and put them up. It began to clear about noon and after lunch we went east along the river where the Bluetroat (?) was found and set out 52 traps. While setting out the traps a covey of about 12 Willow Ptarmigan were flushed. They were in the willows and the small shrubs where these shrubs are widely spaced back 50± feet from the stream. As I worked the covey over, I was able to get 8 birds of various sizes and ages, 2 of which were too badly shot to save. I ran on to another fossil locality, much better than the first which contained some well

More than once something jumped into the stream as I approached and although I could never see the animal, I feel sure that frogs are present. Pike are present in the stream and I got a small fry for Boelke. Jaegers pass over regularly but there is no concentration of them. The Parasitic Jaeger appears to be slightly more common than the Long-tail. Glaucous Gulls are common, a group of 10 was flushed near camp feeding in the dump and in the grass. Two Rose were with them; these birds are very many and I have not been able to approach them at all. Tree Sparrows and Red polls are common in the willows along the streams along with an occasional Wagtall but the latter do not seem to be as abundant as when we first arrived. Mayer has been getting some interesting figures on weight data of the specimens of sequoias. I will never forgive him for thinking I cut a Ptarmigan or two when I shot 2 with

CHILDS 1951 Aug 3 East Ounalik, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska One Shell! We shivered until 2300 but did not get everything put up. Aug 4 Bill and Stan ran the trap line in the morning. Catch was 6 A.D.?, 1 subadult, 3 jrs Minotus, 1 Lemmus?, 1 Tree Sp., and 1 Wagtail. We flushed a Red-spotted Bluethroat which I collected and another which got away. When flushed these birds fly 20 yds or so, a light in a brush and then drop to the ground and disappear rapidly, running along the ground. 3 Starmigan were flushed but none were shot. A few Redpolls, and Tree Sparrows were seen. Jaegers and gulls are not as abundant as when we first arrived and they do not come, in to the garbage and carcasses we placed near camp so as to be able to collect birds attracted to it. They have not rasped us at night as they did the first 2 nights. 14 ground squirrels have been taken now out of the immediate vicinity of the wannigans. Aug 5 A Tree Sp. was caught in one of the Hav-a-hart Squirrel traps this morning and it was banded 49-26501. Two squirrels were caught before 1000. It is again a poor day with a persistent drizzle.

CHILDS 1951 Aug 5 East O u Malit 40 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska and got 7 MiceTus, 4 of which were juvenile al Red-spotted Blunthroat. On our way to the trap line we came upon a wolf moving along the stream. It was about 100 yds. away when we first saw it. I tried a ball- shot on it but missed it. I had stopped at the top of the bluff at the riverside and was looking at us. We cursed our failure to bring the carbine with us. More Ptarmigan were seen. A Savannah Sparrow and a Redpoll were collected. We found another fossil locality farther down the stream than the first and much richer in species and completeness of the fossils. Many complete leaves, a ginko, several Angiosperms, Sequoia?, were collected. Aug 5 The catch in 50 traps was one MiceTus secernens. The trap line was in a marshy area transected by permafrost lines on which dwarf birch and some willow grow. This contrasts with the habitat where MiceTus murise was caught, i.e., in dry sandy steam banks under tall willows (4-5 ft.) We then walked to the lake where we found the canoe and proceeded to circle the edge of the lake. A & Ptarmigan 2000 flushed with her halfgrown brood on the flat. A group of old, square Ptarmigan

CHILD 1951 Aug 6 East Oundlik, 110 mi. SSE Barrow, Alaska was on the lake. A group of 10 yellow-billed Loons were flushed and further on a pair of Pacific Loons. A pair of Pintails flew over. Otherwise the bird-life was very scarce except for a few tree and Savannah Sparrows near the windsock. It was interesting to see where ice wedges of permafrost had caused the banks to break away along the bluff to the west north of the lake. Ground Squirrel burrows were seen only a few feet above this solid ice mass. We set the remaining traps near the wind sock at the south end of the lake. One animal was seen and messy runways of scats were present there. The weather was fine today, just enough wind to keep the mosquitoes down but quite warm. Aug 7 We were all packed ready for the plane to arrive early this morning so we spent the morning hunting in close to camp in order to be ready when the plane buzzed the camp. We found a sheep in very bad shape in a trap foot in the first trap line. Two juvenile Bluethroats were seen several times in the same area but it was impossible to collect them. I did get one later on up on the hill in the drainage ditch, much to my surprise and an albino, very young juvenile Redpoll in the same area. Five Stormsja

CHILDs 1951 39. Aug.7 East Ounalik, 110 mi SSE Barrow, Alaska were collected and brought back to Barrow. The plane buzzed after supper and we headed for the lake. At the foot of the hill we saw a bird which we had a glimpse of earlier and which we now suspect to be a Swinhoe's Wagtail. However I missed a shot at it. It was the Wien Cesena plane whose load is 400 lbs so we were only able to bring back the skins. As it was we had to unload extra gear twice before being able to take off. It was great to get back to Barrow and a bath + clean clothes. Aug8 I slept late + spent the afternoon getting my notes in shape. The pilot showed up about 1600 and was going after the gear. As it would take two trips I went along & help load + hunt for the Swinhoe's Wagtail between plane trips. Naturally I was unsuccessful and actually only saw 7 birds in 2½ hours of tramping the surrounding hills. The sun was below the horizon for the first time when we landed at Barrow at 2300. Aug.9 Slept late again; tended bird traps + worked on notes in the afternoon. Got my first haricut in 2 months after a 2 hour wait at 2345.

Dowitchers are present in good numbers back of the lab. Ruddy Turnstones are common also. In the afternoon after Frank & Gil checked the bird traps, Gil & I checked the snap traps on LW - no mammals but 7 Longspurs. Longspurs were all over the area in flocks from 10 to 100+ birds. Juvenile Golden Plovers were seen as taken. Three Buff-breasted Sandpipers were also taken. 3 Snowy Owls were at the east of LW. A summary of banding to date is as follows: Snow Bunting 281 Alaska Longspur 207 Baird Sand. 35 Red-backed Sand 23 Arctic Tern 20 Red Phalarope 8 Semi-palmated Sand 8 Golden Plover 5 Ruddy Turnstone 1 Old Squaw 1 Tree Sparrow 1 (11 species) 590 Bill Mayer gave album on Arctic Ground Squirrel - very good.

A Pomarine Jaeger was present Aug.12 Skinned in the afternoon. Thompson saw Tree or Violet green Swallows on fresh water pond. Aug.13 Checked traps and got 1 Dicrostonyx and 4 Longspurs. Thompson got a Wheatear in a snap trap. Aug.14 Set second run of Calhoun line, a futile effort. Longspurs almost nonexistent where hundreds had been a few days earlier, in fact, almost no birds at all marsh. Ducks were flying over Bimnick in very large flocks and one flock of 200 Steller Eider flew over L.W. Aug.15 Went out to Bimnick at 0830. The weather was cold & drizzly and the wind was about ENE. No ducks seen by 1000 but 2 small flocks of Brant went over. Picked up 2 & King Eiders + 2 Flancas + 3 Kerring (3) gulls Chater brought in a Buffin.

No Eskimos were hunting. 1415-1515: 100,150,50,160 = 450 1515-1615: 100,15,35,35,15,150 = 350 Miles (Eskimo) invited me to have coffee in his tent which was an interesting experience. They had a large box spring bed covered with a clososeal cover and a wood & gas stove. He has 7 children, the youngest was drinking out of a baby's bottle such as we use at home. His wife is making a pair of slippers for Mrs. Childs. Several Parasitic Jaegers were seen. Arctic Tern, Ruddy Turnstone, Gaid, Pectoral, & Red-backed Sandpiper, Dovekies, Red Phalarope, Glaucous gull, Old Squaw, Snow Bunting - were present.

This was in anticipation of an early take-off for the Meade. A trip to Barrow Village from the plane leaving from the Cape and we took off at 1330! A new pilot Fred Maguire was being shown the route by George Thiel, an Eskimo pilot, One passage Chuck Perrin, USAF instructor for Guard Observer Corps and our baggage. Make a full load! The trip was uneventful although 5 Snowy Owls were seen enroute. We moosoon arrived at Barrow, when Ed Borsdal had us over for Coffee. They & Mrs. Bean, a delightful Eskimo teacher had us to supper at the school. After that it being the 4th, the village gathered in the school for a dance, The first part was true Eskimo dancing and singing or I should say chanting. Only the older people took part. About 2130 whites men, dance began. Menu for the supper was brod'deve. Carbon tongun & Liederberg cheese. Carbon roast, fried chicken, potatoes, lettuce jello, pastel, rolls, celery & carrots!

I had expected a poor catch as the slime was not particularly ruminie or abundant with sign. Plat+soil man left late p.m. We went down into the coal mine thru a shaft surrounded by solid ice; a very intimidating experience. July 9 Permanently marked and described both transsects. Completed T1 at 2000. July 10 Cruised the area 5 of the Coal Mine, down to the soft bend of the Meade, some 2-3 miles & the south. Found a L.T. Jaeger not caught one that landed on my back! There is an extensive dune area along the river but no ground squirrels were seen in the areas. There is extensive low earth polygon areas with marshy ponds where old squaws apparently were breeding. We have been impressed during the last few days on the lack of mammal on the surface when early in the week we caught several. The trip today impressed me with the interiorness of the polygon areas similar to that in which T1 is located. Rummies are fairly common throughout the ridges. New species for the area seen today were Arctic Tern, Dovitohn, and Northern Phalarope.

Aug 21 Ducks really flying in tremendous numbers after the last few days of rain. Ice still socked in tight offshore. Selected pellets from Voth area for Boyd. Placed snap traps in upclown to the south. McNab returned from Halfam three at 1645. August 22 Spent the day waiting at the airport for the return trip to Meade River. Snowed most of the day, at least it did after Fearless Feed got on of the sack. Did not get off the ground Aug 23 Went out to the Voth area with Koranda to look at the snow conditions (see below). McNab left at 2000. 2130 rain started that froze upon hitting the ground. at 1630 left for Meade River but got only a short distance south of the monument. Solid clouds to the south. Gave up any attempt to get here this year. Aug 24 Still bad weather. Went out to the beach ridge.

Childs 1957 Journal June 7 Barrow, Alaska Arrived at noon today, having left at 1600 from Los Angeles. Trip uneventful. Flew through Anaktuvuk Pass, visibility exceptionally good. Saw about 10 caribou to the north of the Eskimo village. Max Brewer met me at the airport. The news was that my trip to Bearfort was in considerable doubt. We are considering an alternate site. Spend the rest of the day getting oriented and settled. June 8 More of the same. Preparing to leave but don't know where I'm going! Snow melt appears farther along than 1951 at same time. June 9 Tom Cade and I processed 200 Lemmus purchased from natives at Wainwright June 10 Cade and I left Barrow for Agiak Lagoon at 1440 by chartered Wien plane. Most of the snow was gone after we passed Skull Cliff. Very few predators were seen; a list of these is to be found in Cade's notes. We stopped at Wainwright to leave the gear. Agiak Lagoon was reached with no difficulty after passing Cape Beaufort. The HRL LCM was beached 200ft. north of the landing strip at the site. South of Wainwright I think a greenish thing could be

Chile 1953 Journal Jun 10 Enroute & Beanfort had return to Kamwright noted in the vegetation which became quite marked near Beanfort. We landed on the sand bar mouth of Agiah Lagoon without difficulty but the pilot said it was too soft for further landings. During the short stay Cade and I looked at the vegetation which was lush, principally Tussocks and some prostrate willow. Many flowers were in bloom most of which I was not familiar with. The vegetation from the ground appeared pretty sulphuric despite various drainages and elevations. From the air photo this spot looked more desirable within a short distance of a cargo site than either Beanfort or the mouth of the Pitmegea River. This is a nice spot but was eliminated for a study area by the plane problem. We then flew south to the mouth of the Pitmegea River and saw a grizzly slay one of the lagoons on the way. We tried landing on two bars, both of which were hard and long enough for excellent landing. There is a two man shack at the mouth of the river on the south side which with a tent would make a splendid campsite.

Chiles 1959 Journal 3. June 10 Enroute to Wainwright (Curt) The Picture gear is a river about 50 ft wide and fairly deep. It opens into a beautiful valley with gentle sloping sides & the ridges of perhaps 1000' on either side and about 2-3 miles wide. It differs from Agiak lagoon locality in that it would be a longer walk to get to the higher, plateau like country but with a boy to carry the gear, who cares! The air photo show an extensive polygon area about two miles from camp as well as the extensive tussock areas so typical of that country. The weather was very warm and sunny, making the whole area look like northern Scotland. There was considerably more mouse sign along the river than at Agiak. There were many spiral burrows along the river also. We flew up the river about 10-15 miles and saw 2 herds of caribou, one of 16 and the other of 20. Then we flew across to the coast and over the site at Bearfoot. I could see little difference in the vegetation of these areas but Bearfoot has a series

June 10 Wainwright (Cait) Of eroded outcrops where we saw one Marmot. This additional survivor I doubt would contribute much to the Connin story as these rock outcrops were fairly well restricted to the Beaufort area and a few miles north. Thus Beaufort appears somewhat atypical of that stretch of coast. We saw another grizzly Bear just south of the site sitting on a snowbank. There are two too many Bears within 15 miles of the mouth of the Pittungua. Just north of the foothills we flew over a flock of 5 Emperor Geese, seeing the both twins (south end of Kaagaluuk Lagoon) One Arctic Fox was seen north of Point Bay. Caribou were scattered along the Coast south of Wainwright. Two Seawans were settled not too far south of Wainwright. June 11 Wainwright, Alaska Cade and I set 612 Traps on the four transects here this morning. Jaegers are present but hardly abundant. I saw several and Cade more while setting traps. Last night The boys brought in Dane live ones, the best ones of which we boast 21. We could set all we wanted from them.

child 1957 journal June 12 Wainwright, Alaska Ran trap lines in a.m. Saw a Short-eared Owl and golden Plover. Trap lines still not yielding many mice: left for Barrow at 1300. June 13 Prepared for trip to Cape Sabine! June 14 Ditto. June 15 at 0915 Jack Baker came in to say we could set our gear to Liz A today at 0900, not Monday as expected. With some hustling and cooperation by Ed Clepoch, Jim, Jack, Map, Tom, and John we got most of it ready and off. We left Barrow by chartered Wien at 1320 and arrived at Cape Sabine at 1615. Between Dry Cape + Pt. Lay visibility was very poor. South of Pt. Lay winds picked up and have continued. Mr. Lockhard, the pilot, dropped us and made Two trips to Liz A for our gear. Koanda and I walked to the cabin which could be used with some clearing but the problems of trans- port were too great. We made camp on a good spot on the bar. On the trip down the coast we saw no among owls and about 5 jaegers. We passed to the east of Liz B and there were no jaegers anywhere we passed behind Wainwright. A pair of Snow geese were seen near the Utukhak R. I found a Mammoth Tooth about 50' from the Camp site and sent it back to Barrow. Birds seen this evening: Yellow-bill Loon; Red-throated

June 16 The wind which started lightly last night increased and blew all night. We estimate its velocity to be 30 mph or better. It is flowing apray on the river. Our tent has been flapping violently despite all we can do for it as we have a ridge pole about 1' short leaving quite a bit of slack. How that tent holds together we do not know. If it goes we will have to move to the cabin, a chore I do not look forward to. John & I went west at the Tundra for awhile but could hardly walk against the wind so gave up. It is hard to breathe wailing up wind. This afternoon, being bored with waiting out the wind, I collected some plant fossils a little north of camp. There is almost no animal activity. Wind did not abate this evening. June 17 Wind has lessened slightly this morning. It certainly blew all the energy out of one. I scouted the marsh, here called Loon Marsh as I found a Reed-throated Loon nest, no eggs yet, to the west of camp. This has a range of habitats and I think I shall concentrate in

June 18 Putwagea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska A plane flew over at 1430, blue with yellow stripe (Noreman?). The wind has essentially stopped and the rain does not seem to bother the bird activity. Jaegers of 3 species abundant. Longspurs are very busily feeding their young. A pair of Dairitchers were seen. Some kind of alcid dive. 1615 Plane heard along the coast - not seen. Stopped raining, cleared and cooled about 1900. June 19 John and I walked to bluff outcrop west of cabin. Then took boat across the river. Plane came in at 1200, an hour early. Better to Mary was left as was within map. Will I hear about this! Harry Brower came in on plane and will be here until relieved in 2 weeks. Set traps on transects 142. Horn nest has legg now. June 20 Harry and I ran transects at 0930. No catch in either one. Where are the mice? We then went across the river and scouted and collected in the "polygon" area to the SE. Dense grasses on the polygons as the air photo is mis- leading. They are not well developed and more restricted in area than appears on the map, due, I guess, to the gradual merging with tussock types. Small sandpipers more common. Several Dairitchers obviously nesting, were seen and 2 collected. Also seen were Yellow Wagtails, Redpolls, White-crowned Sparrow. A group of Eiders on the way & A. Hope stopped

Harry Brown left as these fellows will be here a week. Shunid binds all day. Yesterday Harry saw a Wolverine across the river while I was in the tent skinning! 22 June Tedrow + I set out transects 3 & 4 in Loon Marsh in a.m. I closed & moved traps to the new sites in preparation for starting the lines that night. Started to rain at 21:00 so put it off. Jim Drew, Dr. Alderfer, and Bill Gillis came in at 16:30. 23 June Another wind storm today but clear no rain. The soils party took off across the river for the day leaving their tent flapping in the breeze. I did what I could that when I returned from setting the traps their fly had ripped so I cut it loose and re-stoked the thing. When I returned there was a mechanical measel driving across the snow across the river, probably from Liza. Two small Canada geese landed on bar. I shot and located them, but not badly!

Childs 1957 Journal 24 June Pitmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Cattler, Tetrars, et al went up river at 1130 regardless of the fairly heavy rain. I ran T3 & T4 (no mammals) and skimmed the Pomarine Jaeger. It appeared to be away off so I took the boat down to the bar in hopes of seeing and collecting some stout birds. Resting on the bar in front of the cabin were 10 Red-breasted Mergansers along with 6 Red-throated Loons. A pair of Snow geese flew in and a pair of king riders were resting on the leeward side of the bar. Many Arctic Terns on the sand bar. A couple of grand squirrels are resident in a little island surrounded by mud flats. At the cabin I found skulls of caribou, marmos, polar bear and carlin and fox. I found a Stellar's Eider, probably shot by the Eskimos. The sea was calm and a few loons were on the ocean. Kittiwakes flew by and an occasional Glaucous gull. Various jaegers appeared to be waiting for a tide lift from the Eskimos. The grass around the cabin is antagonistic and somewhat sunny. Up river they found a nesting in gypaeflem nest, long-tailed jaeger and curlew nests.

Chose to remain here. 27 June Went up river 3 miles to the stream opposite the falcon nest and collected 2 Hudsonian godwits and failed to get the Pacific Godwits with them. It was a long tring walk across the hills and there was almost no indication of mouse activity anywhere. Cantler sums that the low productivity of the sedgews grasses may be a factor in mouse abundance here as well as being responsible for allowing a cyclic build-up at Barron. This is an interesting point that should be followed up. 28 June Skinned birds and wrote notes. 2100 Set 25 traps in old flout snow drift area - no catch 20 " " art willow 11 " " rock outcrop 6/29

Found that the Falcon was a Duck Hawk and that there was a Raven's nest there also. Collected 2 Tree Sparrows in willows opposite. No sign of mouse activity anywhere except on protected top side of ridge top where droppings showed on moss like at the Mende airstrip. 18 Caribou were seen headed for the lagoon, a result of the warm weather and mosquitoes 30 June Ran traps set out 6/28 no mammals - 2 j.r. longs 2100 west to river mouth accessions.

Children 1957 Journal 3 July Pitnegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Merle Solomon and I set out transects T5 + T6 in the Othman drainage To the NW of Loon Marsh in wet meadows and anctophila marsh. Two Pacific godwits acted like they were nesting 5 the north of Owl Ridge 4 Caribou were seen along the coast but we could not get them within. Merle saw a small seal off coast. Godwits not seen at 2100 when we set traps. Fog cleared. 4 July Ran transects at 1030. Saw 2 godwit. Caught one Microstus a flock of 3 cranes flew over and we collected one at 1900. In morning Transect 5 I finally got a Lemming! Upon return I found Merle trying to pull out the tooth that has been bothering him for the last several days. He wanted me to pull it for him but I wasn't about to do it until it was obvious that he was going to do it himself. I thought, as I could see better, that I should help him. So after boiling any phone we managed to break off the top of it which he said relieved the pain! If it appears to give any further trouble we will walk to Light for help. Everything happens to me. Found a down young Long-tail Jaeger to north of transect when I had suspected a nest earlier. 5 July Merle seems to be O.K this morning, the tooth giving him no pain. Another Lemming and a Microstus in the transects this morning! Plus 8 Pied-Billed Gulls whose feathers are just coming through. It is one of

Childs 1957 Journal 14 5 July Pitweyer River, Cape Soline, Alaska Three high windy days bringing warm weather from the south. There was little bird activity on the marsh, due to the wind. Made put up a wind break which has made the tent more livable in the high wind. The river has risen several inches again and think at the pole we did not loose the boat although it was afloat. It started to rain about 2000. 6 July Made woke me up at 0930 saying he thought there were caribou outside the tent. We got dressed quickly and looked out to be greeted by a sight as seldom seen by a white man since the demise of the Buffalo. There must have been at least 500 on the bar, some within 25' of the tent! And this was only a small drop in the creek of the herds counter that could be seen across and up the river. I shot one and Made got a big bull with his .22! and wounded another that died across the river. When I went out to check the transects there were caribou all over Loon Marsh as far as the eye could see and they stretched in incredible numbers up to Falcon Rock and across the river to the far summit. I could not give anywhere near an accurate estimate but there must have been anywhere from 10 to 25,000. There were more

Childs 1957 Journal 6 July Patruna River, Cape Sabine Alaska Caribou in sight than antelope in any area from the "African Lion", a situation hard to conceive on the American continent — caribou to be seen to the horizon in all directions. I am sure that if we wanted & we could have killed a hundred. The caribou had run the transects for me, snagging 117 trap in T5 and 109 in T8. From this data there appears to be no significant difference in caribou density in these two areas! It was interesting to watch Merle skin the bull. Here, he knew what he was doing! He took the fat in the mountain, cut off the caecum and stuffed the fat into it. When done and bloody to the elbows, he cut open the stomach and washed his hands in the chyme ! We carried it in two pieces back to camp. Three caribou should keep us in meat for a while! Jackers and gulls started to work on the guts and head almost immediately. One rather amazing thing is that we did not see any wolves in attendance anywhere although there were many hundreds of young ones, only a few days old. The last time I looked out, it was still raining (0100) and only a few hundred could be seen moving to the east.

Childs 1957 Journal 7 July Pitaruega River, Cape Solvine, Alaska The rain has stopped and the wind has shifted To the West for the first time, driving water Back up the river. Luckily we brought the boat well up or we would have lost it again. The Caribou have left us, having remained in our area about 24 hours. The evidence of their being here, both gastronomic and ecological, will remain for sometime. We saw a white phase Gyrfalcon last night. Picked up the traps this a.m. After supper we went to the river mouth and I collected an immature Salvin's gull? a flock of 20 Tiling Eiders were nesting on the bar 8 July Rain again around 8:200 continued all day. In late afternoon I sent Merle out to get golden Plover, a bird I knew he could identify. He came back with a Canada Goose and said he shot 3 young and left them. He went back after them! He got a Golden Plover this time. 9 July Still rain. Continued skinning birds. 10-20 jaegers are watchers constantly now after Caribou remains - mostly long tails with a few Parasiticus - some dark phase. 10 July Weather good at last. Two herds of 10-15 Caribou crossed 1/2 mile upstream headed east. After a breakfast of Blueberry pancakes (a specialty of the house) we headed for That's Creek, 7 miles to the west.

clides 1957 Journal 18 10 July Pitrugge River, Cape Sabine, Alaska We cut to the coast to the west of Loon Marsh along the long lath road and jingled a gizzy who ran for miles & the west. Wherever we went on the put- trip, the ground was torn up by caribou. No sign of mice anywhere. At the mouth of Thatis Creek I found a horse tooth on the beach. There is a well developed lagoon at the mouth of the creek where about 25 Steller Eider, 40 Old Squaw, One King Eider, and one Pacific Eider. Offshore along the way several murreas and a Pacific Loon, a moltin Spectacle Eider, 20 Red-breasted Merganser, and 25 Pintails were seen as well as gannets Gulls and Kittiwakes. Longspurs appear to be flocking up and moving west. There are two well built sod igloos, apparently in regular use on the other side of Thatis Creek which we could not cross and I didn't feel like walking a mile up river to find a way over. Dwindlers were regular along the way. Arctic Terns dive-bombed me at Thatis Creek although the area did not appear very good for tern nesting. The 14 mile sand trip was completely exhausting but a good conditioner for the river trip next week. 11 July Left leg very sore, can hardly walk. We could smell the Smoke of a forest fire to the south. This morning. It is very warm. It is such a good day that it is ten dead we are incapacitated by yesterday's hike.

I heard a weasel over the hill & the East early this morning—perhaps it was investigating the fire to the SE. Smoke still present but we cannot see flame. Pressure of other work and muscles prevent us from investigating over there. A single farm caribou came to the ridge top yesterday—perhaps driven by smoke. 1205 today is our day for big predators. A big Wolverine was across the river but although Merle took 2 shots at it, it got away. There was another, smaller one up at the large bluff. Merle and I set out T7 + T8 to the NW of T5 + T6. Flushed a Ptarmigan and shot it. Caribou were seen to the West and they circled me while working. One of our Trap bags was torn and traps scattered probably by bear. Worked on description of transects in the p.m. Set transects T7 + T8 at 2130. 13 July Ran transects in a.m. and continued descriptive work on transects 3+4. Caught one M. oecanum at T8-4.2. Westerly wind and windy, longspurs definitely on the move. 14 July Very windy but warm and clear. Continued as above. Both our watches stopped last night! Oh well, where going anyhod?

At 2:00 we made the first run of T7 + T8 and picked up the traps. Caught a Muscito in T7-4.2. 16 July High winds of 25-30 mph continue. We spent the day cleaning up and preparing for the river trips. Saw a old Dunk Hawk beating its way up river and it diverted by 2 long-tailed Jaegers who seemed to be able to out-manouver the hawk with ease. Walked to spit where a flock of King and Stellar Eiders rested as well as Kittiwake. Found a well developed Arctic tern day bird who was "turned" over adover by the wind when we released it. Observed a flock of 4 Knots with a golden Plover near cabin on return 17 July got ready for river trip and waited for plane. Weather poor. 18 July Still waiting. Plane arrived at 1445 with Royal Sharker. He and I flew up river to the last bar we could get down on and this locality I am calling Camp A as we do not locate this on any of our maps. In our preliminary scouting around we have seen Longspure, long-tailed Paraltic Jaegers, Ottermanian, Semi-palmated Plover, N.Phleopus, Golden Plover, NORTHERN SHRIKE with 2 fledged young Redpoll.

Childs 1957 Journal 21. 19 July Camp A - Pitmegea River 29 mi S.E Cape Sabine, Alaska Caught 5 Microtus miurus and one M. oconomus, the traps being set under 4' willows with a moss ground cover. Last night two birds of 75± each of caribou passed within a mile of camp. Our best guess estimate of our position is ½ mile north of big tributary shown on DeLong Mt. map at 20 miles inland and 164°10' W, 68°47' N on Pet 4map K24. However, the cartographer must have been drunk. The country is rolling hills of not too great height (100-500'). The vegetation along the river bottom varies from Droopy Dry Meadow to Felt-leaf Willow 3'4" with clumps up to 8' high. The tundra appears to be mainly Marshy Wet Meadows and Tufted Wet Meadows with extremely large trawesks, much larger than those near the base camp. On the bluffs there are several old hawk nests of some kind, none active. Owl and hawk pellets have been collected. None found. Weather lovely and warm, yet there are few mosquitoes - took a swim! After skiing we walked south to the big tributary where we saw a caribou. Bird life is very scarce. Additional species seen: Tree and White Crown Sparrow, Yellow-billed Tail, Ground Squirrel. Set 3 traps. 20 July Caught 6 M. miurus. Shrikes are still in area although I couldn't find them last night. Wind started at 0115 last night and as I finished dinner it started

Child's 1957 Journal 22. 20 July Camp # - Patnegeal River, 29 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska To rain. We are all packed and ready to ride the rising water. The bird life except for the Shrikes, has been disappointing and very sparse, but that may be due to the lateness of the season. Too, they must really get out of here in a rush. If we do this next year, we should be in later than July 1. To the South the river narrows down and the valley widens out into a very broad, saucer-shaped valley, surrounded by fairly high mountains. The rain stopped about mid-afternoon but threatened. We left at 8:30 and continued down river until 21:30 (2½ hrs) when the boat had developed too many holes to continue. Took about 15 minutes to collect one of the young Shrikes! There were at least 5 other shrikes, perhaps all young. At this point it looks like a long trip back. Set 50 traps. 21 July Camp # - Patnegeal River, 26 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska Rain most of night. Caught one each of the Microstrix Shrikes, heard Aperiodic boat. Nothing of interest seen here. 22 July Underway at 10:10, returned to 18:10 (9 hrs). Set 59 traps. Chased 2 Harlequin Ducks. Collected a Spotted Sandpiper. Saw Golden Eagle Tegus and one Duck Hawk. 23 July Camp # - Patnegeal River, 18 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska Caught 4 M. minima and 4 M. oecocnemis in same habitat. Saw hay piles of minima. Got underway at 13:00 and camped at 19:00. Found Duck Hawk nest and collected 2 young. Shot down duck (Harlequin?). Camped under another Duck Hawk nest. At 20:30 we found out where we are at least - 12 mi up river! We were dropped about 20 miles farther up than appointed. Set out 59 traps.

Childs 1958 Journal 17 May Barrow, Alaska Arrived at Barrow at 1500. Visibility during flight was intermittent. The Colville was open around Unist. No bare areas seen from there to Barrow. No animals seen. 18 May Spent the morning getting organized and planning with Brewer and Rausch for the week. In the p.m., walked out of the Thompson delta bares and bark. No exposed areas yet or any significant melting. There is about 8" of light powder snow over a very hard ice layer on the surface. This should not be conducive to happy home life for Lemmus. Saw a Sparrow Hawk. Collected a tree sparrow. 19 May accomplished little. 20 May gathered gear for the Biltmore and Whinwright. Drove around Central Marsh. No exposures yet and no birds or mammals seen. 21 May Went south of the Village & the Monument & the Whaley Cap. The lead had closed so there was nothing there. Rausch found the gut of a recently killed Polar Bear.

Arctic Fox tracks were seen out on the ice. 22 May Rausch, Max, and I collected 4 glaucous Gull with considerable difficulty. We are still waiting for flying weather to get to Wainwright. The snow is much wetter and melting is taking place. In the Voth area the tops of the polygons were just beginning to show. However, near the Trapper Line. The snow depth was less than 6" and apparently quite wind swept. No Snow Owls or Longspurs have shown up yet. 23 May Wainwright, Alaska arrived at Wainwright about 5 p.m. Only a few flocks of eiders and one gull seen from the plane. A few seals were seen out on the ice. No owls or jaegers seen. Some of the Tops of the high center polygons along the Shore Type, perhaps, 1/2 mile inland were melted off. Here scattered eggs could been seen back of the village and in a short walk out behind the Church, we found.

Chiles 1958 3 23 May Wainwright, Alaska a dead lemming on the surface. We also found that the Eakins boys have supplies of lemmings saved in the ice cellars for the "Spring Sale." On this basis I have recommended to Crawford (Schoolteacher) and Bruce that only live animals be purchased. In the evening we saw 3 longspurs in the Village. There apparently is no lead within striking distance of Wainwright, although the hunters are getting riders flying over the ice. There was a large one 20-30 miles SW of Barrow. With such a stretch of unbroken ice it is a wonder how the whales get to the Barrow area leads from the south. The lung of the White Whale that Pavlova got was a very compact structure with highly branched bronchioles, not at all like the flabby expandable tissue of most mammalian lungs. 24 May Developed a heavy cold overmeat. Spent the day at the school. Longspurs move through in small flocks. East wind.

He reported 2 Snowy Owls after Christmas at the Point feeding on death walrus and ducks, which had crawled between drums for protection. The pilot Gary Hodgebine reported seeing owls, gophers and Stormygan inland south of Barrow in fair numbers not long ago. This is strange considering the lack of these things along the coast. Walked out in the tundra for an hour or so north where it appeared almost opposed. There was no bear sign. Traps had been set for foxes on every large mound. Flocks of Longspurs are moving through in numbers now. Saw 40+ feeding on a bare spot 25 x 10'. The natives missed a Bowhead Whale today because the bomb didn't go off.

Childs 1958 26 May Wainwright, Alaska During the night there was a decided change in the weather with the onset of a warm spell. Melting was proceeding rapidly by the time we got moving. Three vagrants, slate-colored junco, Tree Sparrow, and White crown Sparrow were seen and the first two collected. Rausch arranged for us to go out to the shalby camps by dog team, and we left for them about 2. We saw little activity on the ice until we stopped to watch an old man set a seal trap, a description of which is seen under [illegible] seal. Several groups of Pomarine Jaegers were seen. At the first of several shelby camps we visited I collected a & junco which was feeding on fat. This was 10 miles from shore. Loons were also seen migratory and singing in small numbers but regular. It is apparent that they follow the offshore ice in migration more than expected. It should be stated that the results of this trip strongly show that by remaining ashore we miss the main migration. 4 may

Red Phalaropes, Biddy Turnstone, Mew, Yellow billed loon, Glaucous Gulls, and longspurs were seen. While waiting for ducks, we heard rifle shots a short distance away and after coffee (a must at all of the camps we visited) we went over to find that they had shot a large old male Polar Bear. Ranoch got the gutzball ook, femur and numerous fruit. It was after 11 when we got to the third camp and 12:30 at the fourth. They had gotten 51 seals, Bearded and Ribbon Seals. We had been told that the ducks would start to fly at 3 a.m. and as Myers and Ranoch were anxious & often same we waited in the tent until that time with 6 sleeping Eskimos. Shortly after three a few ducks, were seen and then for the next hour we were thrilled with a flight of 400-500 Yellow billed Loons. One flock of 150

We left for Wainwright at 0440, stopping once to shunt one flock of King riders that had now started to move. During the night it had frozen making it easier for our 7 dogs to pull us but less comfortable travel. Near the camps the ice in pressure ridges required carrying the sled but most of the trip was fairly smooth going. It is amazing what punishment these sleds can take. Our driver was Byron James an enlistment and Willing Scharf. Ranch paid for the trip at $20 per day. We arrived back at 8 a.m. propheld! 28 may Walked out to the Tropilins on the mark which are still under snow. There is lots of polygon tops exposed now. I found one dead Emy. Semipalmated Sandpiper seen in the village. Collected one more junco and shot at a White-crowned Sparrow. Departed for Barnes via Wainwright at 2 p.m.

Pete collected a & godwit which was probably nesting past Second Ridge Foxes called frequently in the evening. A wolf left his tracks near the old campsite. 5 June Shifted traps to TzTty.

Child 1958 3 July Pithocea River (16 miles SE Cape Sabine, Clarke Birds in the tussock area seem likely is by far the most offensive plant habitat of the area. There is very little sign of mouse activity here also. It appears to me that forage production may have one- thig to do with this as I believe tussocks to be less producers in comparison Carex aquatilis and E. augustifolius. The tussoks are much larger than at the bar camp with deeper depressions in between. The ground seems wetter and with more moss. Dryas assaden is more extensive on the tops of the hills as is Benens. There is lots of bare, rocky areas on the tops also. In the Felt-leaf willow and other shrubs birds are more abundant, White-crown and Tree Sparrows, Redpolls, and occasionally Yellow Wagtails. Three Pipits were seen. 6 July Merle and I walked 5-7 miles up the north fork of the Pithocea to a cliff which had a Rough-leg Hawk nest on it after Cheryl this 5 traps which had 1 Meistus, oecanum, and 1 Longspur in it.

Godwits were common along the stream, some were golden plover, Semi- palmented Blore. One pair of Cukens and one pair of Dovitiches were seen. True and White crane span, Redpolls, and Pectoral Sundgipes were abundant. One single, a band of 7, and a herd of 300 Cukin were seen. No wolf or bear trails seen. The valley of the Northfork is not as wide and the vegetation is more lush than along the main stream. Whether this accounts for the number of unusual species occurring there is problematical. 7 July Skinned most of the day. Then went back to hunt for the robin - missed again. Very windy. Got a 3D Pileated Warbler. The shrikes had fledged. In taking pictures of one young, The 4 hit me on the head 3 times. Marle got 2 Microtus occidentis in the own trap line. Our Cantron supply is getting rapidly disiblown and manggy.

Childs 1958 20 8 July Litunager River, 16 miles SE Cape Sabine, Alaska High overcast and no wind. Mosquitoes await our leaving the Tent. Walked to the two ponds down river. There we found a 9 Pintail and 27 White-wing Scoters and 19 Surf Scoter. I shot one and broke its wing but we were unable to get it as it could still dive. There were gulls, 10 Northern Phalaropes, 2 Dovitches, and 6-10 Bartled Sandpipers. On the river were 4 Oldsquaws. At the cliff we found a Rough-legged Hawk nest with 4 young, 2 of which and the adult & were collected. The first staged on top range and a Third Rough-legged came by. The nest was located about 4ft from where the Duck Hawk nest was last year. A great deal of sloughing off had taken place and there was one soil slips of 30 x 50' with underlying ice showing. Two Harlequin 99 were on the river. 2 ravens flew over. Hardly any wind all day long and plenty of mosquitoes 9 July Cany day - not feeling well, perhaps due to tightly rotten caribou meat. Set out two transects in late p.m. Tried to get Duck Hawks again with no success. Found the nest to be located about 15 ft away on top of bluff from old nest and it contained 4 very small young.

Wind came up from SE for awhile and then shifted 180° and hit me head on but not hard. Trip uneventful except for find, half a mammoth Tooth. About ¼ mile from tent Pete saw a fish and soon we saw numbers of them — Humpback Salmon! We shot 2 which weighted about 6 pounds apiece. They are a remarkable sight with their brilliant colors and grotesque hump and jaws. Why did they come in this year and not last? at the lower end of the Bars were numerous wolf and wolverine tracks made since we left. Our meat cellar was open but my meat taken, a shame since it was all fly blown except the canned hams, and the Canada bacon. 29 July Patmogaa River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Pete went to mammoth den and 9 to the mouth of the river.

Squaw, Red-breasted Mergansers, Western Sandpiper, Kittiwake, Spind Long-tail + Parasitic Jaeger. It soon turned to rain and remained rainy and overcast. After a late supper I spotted a large Black Bear across the river or maybe upstream. We dressed & took after it. As luck would have it, the bear decided that this was a good place to sleep and we came up 16 paces from it and Pete shot it — camera still upstream. Pete thought it was a Black Bear but later measurements showed it to be an old grizzly but certainly a very black one. 30 July Rain again and overcast. We didn't sight a plane in this weather so took the boat upstream and started to skeletonize the bear. got 3 legs done when the plane arrived. It took only one trip to bring the rest of the gear from upstream. After the plane left, letters read, and lunch, we went back to the bear, set 2 old Eakin's dead-fall traps for Wolverine or fox.

Chiles 1958 25 14 Aug. Atwega Basin, Cape Sable, Alaska It is hard for anyone to realize how important that place is after you have been not here isolated for so long. It represents security, our connection with civilization — and sanity, and its failure to appear is as traumatic as the cutting of the umbilical cord. I find existence almost unbearable here and would leave — if I could. The presence everyday of too many mice in the traps add to the burden. Am so low in spirits that I can do mounting or even the regular chores around camp. Have not bathed or washed clothes in a couple of weeks. Must do so soon. We set up the wood stove as we have about one tank of gas left. My fever continued throughout the day but I felt better in the evening after the trap line as I took 3 aspirin before going out. Took both breakfast and lunch. Oh where is the plane? 15 Aug. Feeling slightly better. Weather overcast but not raining. Completed T3+T4. Cleaned up + bathed. Plane arrived at 1800 with Fisher (pilot), Tim Myers, + Ed Bleboch; the latter staying in Pete's place. I shall survive 10 more days, 2 guns.

Childs 1959 Journal 16 June Barrow, Alaska Arrived Barrow about 1000. after lunch spent sometime in the field with FBP and Dick Stilman. The melt off is considerably behind schedule, about 18 days I would judge from the usual pattern. Not many birds on the tundra yet. We saw longspurs, pectoral, semipalmated, and red-backed sandpipers, ptarmans, jaegers, snow buntings, pintail, old squaw. Lemming tunnels were fairly abundant and we caught me best one. On trip in we were above the clouds from south of Uniat to Barrow. Ocean ice open offshore, also an early occurrence. Pete reported a short-eared Owl at Berwick 17 June Made a survey flight to the Post-Rogers Memorial, south & the Meade River Coal Mine, then east To Teashepuk Lake, Colville delta, and Shistik Point and returns. The purpose of the trip was to locate concentrations of jaegers and to observe the snow melt. Very few jaegers were seen, perhaps less than 100, and one snowy owl. 3-4 short-eared Owls were seen. Otherwise very little was seen. The most important observation was the very large percentage of Tundra under water at this time, large areas of high tundra being under water.

Child 1959 17 June Barrow, Alaska Many areas of low center polygons had only the high margins out of water. This would mean that at this critical time of exposure that the mice would be concentrated in an exposed habitat suitable for maximum utilization by predators. However, few predators are around. It follows, therefore, that there must be few mice. 18 June On a walk out of the drum area, the mouse sign is as good as we ever seen it except for August of '55. Weather warm and windless. In the evening there was bright sun and no wind which should speed the end of them. 21 June Pitmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska arrived at Pitmegea about 1330.

MacKenzie Hotel filled so we stayed in Catholic Dorm (30). Heard Redpolls in Town. Very quiet bird life. 11 July Caught 1 Lemmings, 1 Clethrionomys, and 4 subadult Microtus oeconomus. Departed for Banks Island late morning. Stopped at Sachs Harbor for 15 min to leave mail. Man there said he had flown up & Muskox River with a zoologist who measured 165 Muskox skulls found over 500 were there. Found Mole's cup on Bernard River and finally landed at about 4 p.m. in RPD. Gravel bar very long. Went out after supper with Maher. Bird & mammal life very sparse. 12 July Bernard River, Banks Island Canada After skinning Junivik mammals, I went south but could not cross the river so I followed the north side of the Bernard. Observed Longspur, Red Phalarope, Sabine Gull, Ruddy Turnstone and Horned Lark, Red Squirrel.

Childs 1963 12 July Bernard River, Banks Island, Canada Weather was warm, temperature at 62 yesterday. We packed up and left about 9 p.m. Saw 2 Arctic Hares from plane; otherwise trip south to Sacko Harbor was uneventful. Sacko Harbor, Banks Island, Canada Arrived about 11 p.m. and walked to village at foot of hill, about 3/4 mi. The village consists of about 20 houses stretched along the shore. Longspurs, Arctic Terns, Glaucous Gull were the only birds seen. 10+ ring seal and 2 Bearded Seal were seen on the beach. We purchased 5 "scrubby" arctic fox furs for $8 per and picked up 5 fox skulls. Quality furs cost $35+. They had both grizzly & Polar Bear skins also. If this area was ever to be used for research, I would suggest hiring a boat and proceed inland as the area within a few miles of the Village looks pretty grim for animal life. We had to pay 50¢ per fur to take them out of the state. The Canadians were very friendly as were The Eskimos we talked to. We departed about 2 p.m. for Danvik. Saw White Whales from plane. It was raining when we arrived Danvik 0730.

Got up about noon, ate, shopped at Hudson Bay Store, a super-market type operation, and waited for Murphy to get up. After purchases at liquor store, we departed for Barrow at 1700. Area around here is spruce-moose biome with birch and some willows. Lots of "Randel Moose" both yellowish white from the air. As noted earlier, we took [illegible], Merster and Cletthorine alongside of airstrip. The delta country & the north looks wild for birds. It would be a good idea to station someone there in late May to check on jaeger & owl migration. 14 July Barrow, Alaska Worked on notes and specimens. 15 July Started live plot operation. Boys out on 11+12. IVA+B noted of 11+12 as they got lost. Slept in Butler Manor.

Child 1963 2 August Barrow, Alaska Worked around lab. Rain 3 August Started live plot at 1530. 6 August Rain started at noon that developed into a real storm by mid-afternoon. Winds were recorded up to 34 mph. (28 mean). Rain stopped after supper and storm was over by 2200 next day. Although more juveniles are being caught, there is not an apparent decrease in runways and signs as there was observed during the 2nd run. FAP NOTE Bruce Lisobe stated that he was in Cornwallis1, Canada in the summer of 1960 and witnessed a looming high! 7 August Departed for Wainwright at 1530 with Gary Stevens, Glenn Stanley and Pilot Mel Fidley. Owls were seen regularly south of the Monument as well as 2 Red Foxes. Also upwards of 500 Caribou were seen, this plot trying to break off with the wheels. Wind at 25 mph in down squalls made Sethy traps a joy. I think the reason I coming here is that it feels so good when it is over. 10 August Got 70 lemmings despite weather which continued bad. Got 60 animals in night run 11 August Got 34 lemmings this morning. They must be turning nocturnal. 12 August Pulled in traps. Rain in a.m. Got a least weasel in last trapline picked up.

Childs 1957 Plant Communities 2 July Pitmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska. The following descriptions and species lists were provided by Dr. John Cantlon of Michigan State University who had considerable experience on the arctic slope in 1953 and who knew the plant species better than anyone I have met at Barrow. He had worked out a scheme of classification of the plant communities and was able to map the entire area within several miles of camp. This map is attached. I Barrow: (Symbol D5b on map) This plant type is found on sandstone outcrops where the soil is an Arctic Brown - Lithoool soil complex. 1. Dryas alaskensis and other dwarf shrubs and perennial herbs. Arenaria macrocarpa, Saifraza sachachotzia Silene acaule, Bupleurum americanum, Festuca brachyphylla, Salix phyllophylla Oxytropis migrescens, Potentilla uniflora plus mosses and crustose, foliose, and fruticose lichens. 2. Alluvial gravel and Sandbars: Artemisia app., Epilobium angustifolia, grasses. 3. Beaches: Elymus arenaria, Sagina intermedia.

Childs 1957 Plant communities 2. 2 July Putnegeater River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Barrens differ from dry meadows principally on the basis of percent cover. Barrens have less than 50% cover exclusive of crustose lichens. Upland II Dry meadows: (symbol D5m). This community is found on slopes and rounded crests in a slightly lower position than the barrens and occasionally on gravelly alluvium. Soils range from Arctic Brown to Upland Tundra and river alluvium. 1. Dryas alaskensis plus all the above species are found here plus Vaccinium vitis-idaea, Luzula spp., Carex misandra. There are more mosses and less crustose lichens. 2. *Deep snow dry meadows. (symbol C-3). This is found on steep slopes and base of slopes where snow lingers into the middle of July in some cases. The soils are variable. Cassiope tetragona, Ledum palustre, Vaccinium [illegible], Solix reticulata, Dryas integrifolia plus lush mosses and lichens. a) on north facing slopes and bluffs: Empetrum nigrum, Betula nana var. epilis, Vaccinium uliginosum, Arctostaphylos alpina, and several grasses are abundant.

Either species of willow may dominate although here it appears to be Salix Richardsonii * modified marsh or small stream bede (B-1) has arctagrostis, etc. 2. Arctophila marsh. (symbol L-1). This is found where there is standy water, normally greater than 6" deep. The soils are hydrosols normally in bog areas. Arctophila fulva dominates with some aquatic mosses. 3. Puccinellia or Phippisia "mud flats". This is found on wet alluvium of estuaries or lower river terraces. V SHRUB TYPES 1. Feltleaf Willow. (Symbol L-126). This is to be found on floodplains of the river or its larger tributaries where alluvial materials, mostly gravels, are overlain with silty sands. The following description is based on a well developed stand about 5 miles inland. Species found are Salix alapensis, 2-6 ft. tall.

Childs 1957 Transect #1 June 18 Pitmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska John Koranda and 9 set the stakes out for this line along the flat part of the bluff. This is atrusock-type but not too well developed. The vegetation is diverse as should be expected where there is the rich weathered soil. There is very little Carex or Eriophorum anywhere here June 19 Set trap at 1330 12 July Transect T, 0.0 nune R250° from N; 2000° to Cabin; 480 to Camp This transect runs across the flat top of the bluff, just above Camp, just slightly below the top so that there is slight drainage. It is vegetated for upland meadows and has only occasional tufts or patches of cotton grass. This what we are calling Tussack Wet Meadow. Arctopogon is scattered throughout on the tops of the mounds which rise 6-10" above troughs and may be 3' across. Both erect and prostrate willows are found in varying abundance. Some Carex before 0.0 to 0.8 homogeneous Tussack wet meadow with Arctopogon, erect willow, Carex b. and mardy. From 1.0 to 7.4 there is a mixture of Tussack wet meadow and Sedge wet meadow. From 7.6 to 10 it changes to Dryas mardy wet meadow. Throughout the transect the micro-relief is slight and there is little cover and relatively little food. The Tussacks do not provide for during summer but show evidence of winter cropping in places

Childs 1957 Transact #2 June 18 Pitnegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska John Koranda and I set this transect out in the polygon area on the west side of Lorn Marsh. This transect runs through high center polygons composed of peat and cotton, according to Koranda. The kind of plants to be found here such as an acid soil type. Sphagnum is abundant. 0 to 2 run out into carex flat vegetation. June 19 Set traps at 1430 12 July T_2 10.0 sets on top of a large mound at the begin- of a peat-polygonized area. Line runs 2230. Lithod back of cabin bears 3000. Interopon Owl Ridge bears 2900. T_2 0.0 bears 3400 to Interopon Owl Ridge 450 to Lithod. This line starts in good Sedge. Willow Wet meadow- runs to 1.4. It then goes into polygonized peat in a mixture of Muddy and Tasselsheet Meadow- with Sedge Wet meadow mixed and occasionally some Sedge and Arctophila marsh. The vegetation is much like T, but there are some well developed, flat-topped, high center polygons at the far end. The troughs of these are wet, some with good sized pools with marsh around the edges. There is greater depressing, therefore, greater cover here but no mire.

Chidde 1957 Transsect #4 22 June Pitmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Tedrow and I set this line out in the well developed tussock area on the slope to the outcrop to SW of Loon Marsh. 13 July Surveyed last community etc. This line starts at the edge of a broad finger of Sedge Wet Meadow which runs up toward Owl Ridge in a band 20-30' across and is the largest of the sedge fingers in the area. By 0.2 The line is in very well developed tussock up to 15" in height and closely spaced. The tussocks are by far the dominant vegetation but there is a sprinkling of erect and prostrate willows, S. angustifolia and Arctostaphylos, as well as Vaccinium vitis-idaea and Ledum, at 5.6 north Sedge finger and then a relatively barren area of muddy wet meadow. There is an angle of __° at 5.0. The remainder of the line is a mixture of Tussock and Sedge Wet Meadow as the line runs along the intersection of the two types, one higher and one lower in the drainage. The tussocks are by far the best developed in the area.

Childs 1957 Transsects 5 & 6 2 July Patmegea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska The entire area included in these two trap lines had been worked overly caribou for about 24 hours during the last day. Although the dirt sites did not show the impact very much, there still was plenty of tracks and droppings as well as pulled up grass. They hardly moved a trap, probably curious and ignored them. In the Arctophile - Carex marshes where Microtus was found, the impact is very obvious, the grass cover broken down and pushed into the Sphagnum - muck by the broad feet. This has the effect of opening the corea and making the mice exposed to a greater extent to avian predators. The amount of caribou droppings is not great but may compare to wolves we got in 1955 for lemming. I hope to do some plots on this
