Holmes,R 1963 Journal 10 June Barrow, Alaska In morning went to insect plots + soil samples. Stopped in Borth's area to check RO nut - it had been destroyed by a vehicle. This area is entirely free (snow now) - this zone was entered all the way up - except some snow patches are present near Tropics III A & B. At insect plots - the side + poly for top are open, but the pines are still covered in. There is some standing water - Pmd C - but in none of the others. The pines at the Covead site are still snowed in. Weather this morning was clear, sunny - with a cold 10mph NW wind. - There was little bird display activity. Afternoon. Stevens Logsdon arrived on Okiin + made his crew depart - ARL. Afternoon spent getting rice + Robert safeguarding our supplies. Insect samples were picked. In evening I went to Elisa lagoon to Cobb's Bay. Ice was clear, with a strong current from the east. Bird activity was light - little displaying. No pectoral flocks.
