23 (±2) Dowitcles feeding in creek. Saw
3 Northern Phalaropes on way back to
weasel. Ca. 100+ gulls (glorious) in
Voth area. Not much else of note.
Heard good pectoral loot along
Voth creek as well as several red-back
trills.
7 July
Barrow, Alaska
Magnificent, warm day. Played soccer
with Bill Djundjek during lunch, and ended up
our cobs from slats in the face. Blocked
the slat tho'.
After moderate recovery period leaves out
Towards Voth Creek w/ P. Telka for to slay
some peeps. Mosquitoes are supposedly our
in force - worse I have ever seen at Barrow.
Uncomfortable, with so off.
Flock of Dowitcles feeding in creek,
plus many phalaropes in complete assortment
of plumages. Watched pectorals and few
semi-pats along creek, then went 'inland'
a bit to be sure I wasn't biasing data
by limiting observations to creek area.
Few birds seen supported these along
creek. Returned and collected 3 pectorals
for stomachs. Observed otters before
being forced to return from lack of
blood.
