Holmes, B 1962 Journal 22 June Barrow, Alaska mud observation. Dr. Reveney - Worked on Polarb's paper in Leku Sdg - with no help. Dr. Schmidt-Kornig. Whale was partly clear - but light NE breeze (~ 5 mpl) was blowing. 23 June Went to the field - B.R. at 0500 & took one recording of the Caledonian Self Song. The sun was out, sky by Ming clear - but a light wind was blowing from NE E.- making recording difficult. Late in the morning - I drove along N.S.B.9 - down into the Flats - town Elis Mayor - when I located another display Curlew Sandpiper - known now were found near Delegar - where they have first been located. Large flock of Peleas present near receiver site & in general. There was an increase in Peleas activity - more displays - more chasing. Bird activity was quite poor - hovers - the wind seems to be very depressing. The day remained clear - but the wind increased by 0800 to 10-15 mph. The tundra is drying out very rapidly - most (the upland areas) are now very dry & the ponds are shrinking fast. 24 June Left for Throatville at 0730 - weather overcast, foggy stream - Leku 10 ± mph - N.E. Concerned the plot - despite weather - bird snatching - virtually no displaying.
