Maclean 1965 Journal 4 July Barrow, Alaska Our at noon, leases in general direction of Holmes' Morass. AACS golden plovers are gone. Some pectorals are still here - ca. '1/2 of original group - and those remaining are undoubtedly non-breeders. Several classes seen, but no "booming" and no ground displays. My high hopes for these birds were not borne out. Walked down "On-the-Beach Ridge"; again failed to locate red-back nest. Did find semi-pal and red-back nests just W. of C+G.S.- 4 eggs each. Also found golden plover nest by NE corner of Pitelka's Plot - 4 eggs. Ridge and Morass very quiet. Birds seen were doing more standing around than feeding. Returned by way of Central Marsh.

Scattered pectorals also appears to be non-breeders. 5 July Barrow, Alaska After quick run into town to check on activities for 4th, then took Durham's old clunker of a weasel out to Holmes Morass.
