The ice came back in This morning between
0700 and 0900, and now huge chunks,
some up-tided can be seen jammed
along the beach. A low fog persisted
during the morning and again during
the afternoon. At 1600, left Barrow
and flew to Wainwright. Saw
several flutter gulls (glaucous)
all the way and some snow
owls near Wainwright.
Wainwright ; Alaska
1700-1930. Arrived and talked to
the school teacher about The
humming situation. Apparently a few
had been stored, and nine were purchased.
On walking out to the tundra, many
runways and cut grass were evident.
7-8 Snowy Owls were seen
between the village and the Deriline
Site, and owls and jargon were
reported by the natives as
being fairly common. Upon leaving
Wainwright and flying N.E. a few
owls were seen sitting in
a meadow).
