are still very common. Also seen-
1 Dunlin, 3 Ruddy Turnstones, and 1
Clamorous Gall.
8 June Barrow Village, Barrow, Alaska
1300-1630 - ½ - 1 mi So. of Village
on coastal-edge tundra. The
area here on the high bluffs
is beginning to become exposed.
There are now areas 30 feet
in diameter that are exposed
which are providing a feeding
locale for shorebirds and
buntings and longspurs. There
were about 40 Red-b. Saps,
and 3 Pectoral in this
area. A Ross' Gull was
seen along the cliffs near
The ice. Two Baird's Lags
were seen and I collected
close to the village. A Tree
Sparrow was noted singing
just So. of the Village.
On the return trip, we went
inland and returned to
the base by this route. This
area was still heavily
covered with snow with a
or occasional clearing.
