Maclean 1965 Journal trash and garbage of the immediate Barrow area. The difference in psychological climate is tremendous! Drove across Footprint Lake, then past South end of Hecavik and eventually stopped by N. end of Holmes plot. Our density here is about like camp area- found two nests with young. Photographed one nest. Hard to evaluate jaguar density, since they are everywhere spotty. Appears to be less than camp area. Reo-backs appear abundant on plot, pectorals here and there, none often seen. Saw Arctic loon nest of 2 eggs. Was greatly impressed by lack of Longspurs here. Futzers around plot, looking for place for waniigan (always thinking ahead!). Decided upon raised ground off S. end of plot, if possible. Sure would be nice. Heared over for site of St. Sabine Gull colony. Saw birds flying around, could not locate colony. Believe it has moved, although I could have been in wrong spot. Continued towards S. end of lake - not too much. Found Stella's Eider nest, and photographed it. Saw 3 eggs just SW of Footprint Lake on
