Helms, R. 1960 Journal 49. 3 August Barrow = So. Barrow ?, Alaska The most numerous (5th?) birds were in Footprint Lake. The weather was overcast, but there was no wind. We arrived back at the bore at 1800. 4 August Barrow, Alaska Specimens were prepared in the morning & evening. During the afternoon, notes were written. 5 August Barrow, Alaska Weather today was miserable, A cold SE wind was blowing and this coupled with light rain made this a very uncomfortable day outside. Lab work was continued and is now nearly caught up. 6 August Barrow = Skroavik, Alaska I left the lab at 0830 & drove directly to the lake where I spent the rest of the day. The plot was "cursed" - and only 1 RB was seen on the plot (that is - the 1 RB) This area is now getting quite green: as there is little dry grass to heat the new growth. I returned via Footprint Lake.
