MacLean 1965 Journal Started walking. Not too cold - ca. 35° - but about 10 mph wind from East. Through Drum area - saw sandling, few baird's, semi-pale and red-backs in moderate numbers. Semi-pale and red-backs displaying. Saw 7 gull at preferred on W. end of [illegible] Ridge. Walked to Beach Ridge, Through Volk Area, and down Gasline Ridge - saw only occasional red-backs. These seen were setting up territories - aerial displays and egg chases frequently seen. At upper Wohlslag Slough encountered loose flock of red-backs plus 1 red phalarope OT. Took feeding data of golden plovers, red-backs, and phalarope. Found 5 second observations extremely difficult to use with any accuracy. Birds were remaining in same feeding habitat; that successive 5 second observations were same as initial observation. This consistency should allow longer observation periods without endangering accuracy. Big problem in observation is nowhere but how birds feed. Saw even more lemmings today. Seen to be exposing themselves for longer periods of time. Could often hear lemming noise coming from near snow patches. Walked back across Central Marsh
