27 July Barrow, Alaska
The almost young at this time may
indicate that not so many have
survived a albeit not then born
Late in Dr. season have not survived
while those hatched in early July
are able to fly now could have
moved off.
Predation has presumably been heavy.
Dr. P. Johnson reported two new cases yesterday-
one of a P.T. Chasing a group of longspurs
for a minute until the longspurs took
refuge among the people within reach
Else logn plant ecolog, plot. The jujigi
The flew ahead and took off in another
direction. The other was a young shov-
eld bird
chick (sp?) being taken by the jujigi
in the same vicinity.
Also - he reports that one golden plover
young was lagging behind the rest of the
flock, and the adult would keep
running back and looked back to keep it
moving. Finally the chick collapsed
moved not more - appeared
exhausted - maybe out of food-???
This worst situation for prey is evident-
since not only are the chronisms inaccessible but
now the heavy rains have drastically reduced the hosts.
