Holmes, R. 1960 Journal 35. 11 July Barrow, Alaska haven, officially at noon only 79°F. The day was clear, & the mosquitoes, & were out in full force. There was no wind. 12 July Barrow, Alaska The morning was spent in Tu Lake, catching up on paperwork. In the afternoon, I took things to Denali for a dyeing experiment, while Carm photographed from the air. My plot was also photographed. In the evening, traplines 4A+4B were put out by Warner, Reynolds & myself. The day was generally over- cast with only a light breeze. Insects were also quite common today. 13 July Barrow, Alaska In the morning, the traplines were checked near Voth's slough & specimens were prepared. In the afternoon, Make & I went to the owl nests in central Marsh & skipi slough. The owls seem to be becoming more aggressive (at least at nest #2). Two Brant nests were located; one within 35 feet of owl nest #6. Flocks of Pectoral Sandpipers are now seen in the marsh, but other saps are relatively scarce & are not being seen.
