8 July Barrow, Alaska
Worked on insect samples during parts of the morning
afternoon. Went to The North Wohlleben
area to check the Curlew Sap - which was not
present - noted 1 egg or 2 - clow were
noted. Saw 2 Caribou near Elson Lagoon.
Weather - partly overcast - but windless & warm -
mosquitoes were thick. In the afternoon, I
returned to check more Porcupines - the at the
end of the Sarapope - by 2pm time a 2-3mph
westerly breeze hot rise & rain fell
for about 45 minutes. Many jaegers -
mostly Long-tails were seen - on marsh &
east toward Elson Lagoon. Little shorebird
activity.
Stevens + I went to Shnavik at 2130 - high
overcast - light NW wind. Wannigan
had been burglarized & much of the food
stolen.
9 July The plot was censused from 1930-1330.
Weather clear & sunny - light
northerly breeze during the afternoon.
The bird activity - the plot was rich! Hardly
