4 June Barrow, Alaska
in VOA's area + have put a gravel road, leading
from the village road to the site. The road just misses
the trapline III A+B, and the site when there are
now 3 wanigan is very near the enclosures. They
are also building some small station with
several posts all over the area--from the edge,
1 The logon, almost to VOA's slough.
The Waniga were present in the same
location with apparently everything intact.
The plot seemed to be ok; the stakes were still
standing. About 10% of the plot was
exposed + RB were the only people that
seemed to be present. (one was seen near 5-4).
Lemming sign is poor. The workings of
last year are quite prominent, but all the
doles which I have checked have been
filled with water + frozen solid. No fresh
workings have been noted. Apparently, there
are some near the village, since the
eskimos have brought about 100 units to
the lot since 30 May. As noted in the species
accounts--a few owls have been reported
by Pete near the village, also saw me today
near VOA - F.T. area. Gargan are relatively
common, but none have been seen to
capture a lemming. No frost pellets have
been noted in stumps.
