MacLean 1965 Journal 8 July Barrow, Alaska Pitelka departure day. too bad; I enjoyed his visit this time. 3 p.m. afternoon in lab cleaning up last year's trapline slabbird kill. Enables me to reestablish identification of slabbird young - will help when birds start coming out. Preserves all stomachs and enteric records of kill. Briefly discusses remains of season, but not enough time for complete conference. Went in to plane with Pitelka and slipped our Ray Stensell's suitcase as part of his baggage. Made it without any excess baggage charge. Returned to camp lake and grabbed some chow, then wrote notes and read before packing out. 9 July Barrow, Alaska Her Mr. + Mrs. G. Dusky Ross - big time bird watchers from Penna. (claim to be 200 in nation in North American spp. seen), and friends of Dick Holmes'. Took them to lunch, then out to the tundra in miserable weather. They were primarily interested in spectacle and Stellar's Egrets. Took care of Stellar's with no problem, but no luck on Spees. Went out to Voith Area - dowitchers still there
