Of lemming abundance, tried walking
To new area, stopping, and counting
until lemming was seen. Averages
5 to 10 counts. Snowy owl now has
6 eggs. Saw short-eared owl;
Fires longspurs. Longspurs mostly
still in flocks. Gulls abundant

Red fox in drum area on way in.
Believe it is denning in or under one
of AACS huts.
