Holmes 1963 Journal 59. 12 Aug Barrow, Alaska Mammal lab doing paperwork. In afternoon - Johnson & I went to Oolipih Slough via gazelles ridge & fertschier plots. Saw following birds - BR> Gaglai: 1 Ad RB 1 PT with 6 P chick, 1 Ad RB. So Gazelles: 2 Im PT + 1 Ad, 1 PB, 1 RB, 2 PRB, 1 RB, 2 RB, 1 Im PS. So south 1 ftut plot: 4 PRB, 3 Ad RB, 1 Ad RB. E 1 Ftut plot: 2 RB, 1 RB, 2 Im PS, 32.B Dowl, 1 S.o., 2 Ad RB (+ 1 Im?) + So cm - 1 PS-I + 1 Ad RB. Redbills were in snowdrifts & very few immatures were seen. Picked adults were absent & only a few immatures were seen, certainly less than would be expected after the nesting death last year. The tundra is extremely wet - even lowland areas have standing water or at least saturated river water. - So no matter where we move - we are working in moist ground. Weather today was partly clear in the morning but foggy - in the afternoon. Very still evening - made the day seem warm - even though the temp was - the 30's. Paul Harel arrived too late to be fueled in the evening.
