took 1 from each of the nests
south of Gasline. Enough, Enough!
Aside from a few phalaropes,
nothing in the way of shorebirds the
whole darn day! Frustrating.
28 July
Barrow Alaska
Our to C.G.S., then walked down
Ditella's Plot in cold, miserable
weather. Saw flock of golden plovers -
feeding in wet tundra near drying pans.
Black-topped ponds became evident
part of tundra for first time. Checks
here for holes - present in about 1/4
ponds, and not yet in great numbers.
Citer larval not here in size and/or
numbers yet or surface active adult
insects are preferred. Tried a few
Holmes surface observations without
seeing any surface insects - but day not
too good for them.
Saw few flocking non-breeding
red-backs, also on Ditella's Plot.
Evening - clearing up, so went out
to Duke Camp. Most people were
out. Watched ducks and Murres,
then went out hunting at midnight,
Stayed until 4:00 A.M., - collected
50 candidates for the stew pot. Joe
