Journal 25 June Barrow, Alaska Has to play tour guide during the afternoon, so waited until evening to look for micro-met area. Finally got a good warm day with little wind - very pleasant to work in. For the first time it is possible to walk the length of Beach Ridge from micro-met to C&AS without stepping on snow (except for man-made ditches). Birds were acting most un- 25 June-ish. Hears good display of C. alpina, melanost, bairdi, pusillus, fusci collis, plus Pluvialis and longspurs. A pectoral near AACS gave good courtship chase and display, then drove away displaying red-back and white-rump. Also saw courtship chase in semipal and red-back. Saw a total of 6 displaying pectorals - most seen to date. PP are still rarely seen. Phalaropes are still increasing and acting perfectly 10th of June - paired in social flocks, with occasional competition over P. Walked up to South North end of Pikelka's Flot to look for Curlew Zanopipe - no luck. Finally walked back down the Ridge and in.
