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.
