18 July
Barrow, Alaska
Went out to Duck camp early
To see what passes by. Weather cold,
Foggy, and getting worse. Visibility was
all to pot, making duck hunting and
Bird watching both difficult and
unproductive. Saw few flocks of
Common & king ciders, several loons,
Hass' all.
Came back in rain, which continued
all evening. Wrote a few notes, then read
for remainder of evening.
19 July
Barrow Alaska
Rain continued so put in some
extra administrative time. Paul + Bob
went out late in afternoon and had
weasel trouble, leaving us without
transportation for evening. No loss-
weather continues too rotten for
constructive work.
20 July
Barrow, Alaska
Walked out through drum area
and caught up with Bob & Paul
setting trap lines 9 + 10. Helped here,
then went out to help set lines 1 + 2.
Found Plow nest here has latched. Only
one chick seen. Too bad nest was new
