meadows near the reindeer coral. Long-b.
Rowitchers were seen regularly, Seveme gave
the "mouse-run" + The 2 collutes had
broad patches. Two westerns were banded
last I was this morning. Red-thr. Loons
were seen a few yards. Arctic Terns
were found commonly near the coast (of the
lagoon). We looped around and returned
to the village at 1730 - soaked to the
skin. Ideal clothes in this weather-
would be a long rain parka + hip boots.
The weather was not really cold, but
just plenty wet.
In the evening, a short walk was
made around the village area, traps
were checked and field notes recorded
(in writing on tape).
The mammal sign here is mostly
restricted to the village - beach ridge area
where Minnows holes are seen. The animals
cought have been Mustelus (feromines?).
Foxes are apparently common. No caribou
are found on the peninsula. Reindeer
were introduced + the deed of hoof-rot.
Spotted seals are killed commonly, so are
Walrus, sogunk (Erignathus), it polar
bear. Whales are rare, taken, also we
