Holmes,R 1960 28 june Barrow-Wamright-Barrow, Alaska in an area of a little over ½ square mile, there was not more than 4-5 pairs. During all our walking around in the area, the penguins never came close to us as it was not near. Several hatched chicks were noted, however. By supper, we had The Clinic laid out, and afterwards, we put The traps in place. The plane arrived for me at 2000, and we left almost immediately. We arrived at Barrow at 2115 after ½ hr. delay due to heavy fog. 29 june Barrow-Ikrovik, Alaska In the morning, Pitelka, Reynolds and I went to owl nest 2+3 and weighed the young. Nest #3 was also fenced in. As afternoon, various deficits were taken care of in preparation for the trip to The lake. In the evening, Pitelka gave his seminar, and soon afterwards Carson & I left for Ikrovik. Footprint Lake is now mostly drained. It was noted that throughout The lake basin there are huge masses of lemming.
