Holmes, R 1960 Journal 2. 28 may. Barrow, Alaska Also underneath this matted grass were numerous lemming droppings; wherever the grass was scraped these pellets could be seen. The presence of birds was not particularly good. One Snowy Owl was seen also on the ridge, just east of the Beverage antenna. Numerous Pomarine Jaegers were seen, but combat was not observed. Several (or 3 or 4) birds would be flying together. Claustrous Auks were seen in small numbers; all were flying high. Sword Banks and Alaska Longspurs were both singing. No shorebirds were seen, but 2 Dunlin were noted on the 25th near Voth's Area by Maher. In the evening the eastern end of the break ridge + Woblochog's Slough was checked. Wherever the tundra was exposed, the grass had been clipped, and lemmings could be seen moving back and forth across these patches. Pomarine Jaegers were noted quite commonly throughout the area (about 20/5qmi - estimate). Several water establishment were noted + displays were seen twice.
