Holmes, R. 1963 Journal 5 June Barrow, Alaska Departed to Ooh-Britta area in a.m. - snow is now disappearing rapidly from the tundra - met 1 Britton's Area to be stopped - path/ the ridge between Voltr-Britta's Arc - Voltr Area & the bluff below the west side of Voltr creek. Weather was overcast, mist, 5 mph NW wind. In afternoon, I went to Eiscanbluff, North Woldersbog - snow is now melted - to a point equal to 15 July/ last year (i.e. when we were watching the Caribou Gap display). This is now a continuous strip, 1 snow-free tundra between Brant Points & Woldersbog Slope, varying in width from 50 to 150 yards. More Dunlin activity was noted today; jaigans were displaying & apparently settled. Specimens were prepared in the evening. 6 June Barrow, Alaska Mother & I went to Village Slope bluffs via Britton's & Varns areas. These locales were only 2 miles distant which had large areas of snow-free tundra. Pectoral Squeeze in all three areas & were by far the most abundant sandpiper. Dunlin were seen scattered in Voltr Area & Village Slope - no nest (this species was found [4 eggs inc. 2]).
