Mackea 1964 Journal 8. 20 June Barrow, Alaska Spent day observing vegetation of So. Beach Ridge, part of Central Marsh, and points West. Walked down Pitelka's plan to Wohleslag Slough, E until stopped by creek, then back West and around area between ridge and Elson Lagoon. Found large congregation of shorebirds - S.P., W.E., +Pee - W. side of Poweight - mixture of polygonal, mesic, and wet-warm-pano habitats. Evening - continues reading in literature. 21 June Barrow, Alaska Woke up feeling like South end of a Death-borne caribou! Managed to survive through lunch writing notes, then spent afternoon in field testing further refinement of sampling technique, including use of spotting scope. Birds most unco-operative - refuses to feed. Looked in polygonal area E. of Pow Site. Moderate activity, but little fessing. After dinner went up to Beach Ridge with Holmes to spot White- Crowned nests and check Buff-Breast, then returned, wrote notes, and go to bed.
