Maclaa 1965 Journal found it surprisingly empty. Saw few phalaropes, took one (Hamilton joins the ranks of the slayers) plus 1 co-back. Finally wends our weary way homeward. Spent the evening working on specimens + stomachs of today plus Heronvik trip. 14 July Barrow, Alaska Sometimes Brewer can get a guy mad. Asks me to spend an hour or so just after lunch with Mr. Kenneth Dutt, Carneige Museum. Ok, sez J. So Brewer returns from lunch with Dutt and his wife at 2:30! By the time the tour was accomplished it was too tale to bother going out so helped arrange the library and transcribes feeding observations. Told Hamilton to take the evening off and went our to run his traplines. VIII + VIII devices of birds + mice. IV + VI has 3 mice, 3 birds. Big evening, no?! Clear, but cold (below freezing) with winds blowing. Walked around Mares a bit - could not find pre-backs previously localized around CREEK wanigan - possibly latched out. Turnstones and
