Maclear 1965 Journal Ran first transects of traplines 1 + 2. Easy; results - nothing! Lemmings abundantly seen; saw 12 in one bare patch ca. 20 ft. diameter in 1 min.. Checked owl nests. Nest with three eggs May 30 and 5 June now has 7! Apparently she resumed laying after taking a few days off. Shorda produces interesting hatching results.

Anyway, system is now as follows: Record date, observation number Choirs observed, numbers consecutively
