Maclca 1964 Journal of harling, new white-rump nest. Evening - checked gasoline ridge and vicinity. Little activity. 4 July Skeletonized 3 beasts, cleaned snowy- out skull, then spent rest of day in fields. Checked W. Beach Ridge, then Central Marsh. Collected 2 king Eisers and long-tailed jaeger. Spent evening in Barrow Village at annual 4th of July celebration. 5 July Struggled out of bed at an hour which will not be mentioned, and spent remainder of day struggling. Put up yesterday's kill. Preserved grey-cheeked thrush brought in by Bohnsack. After dinner (have to admit it) went to movie - Stevens Prince. Don't regret it. 6 July Got an early start - amazing - and observed feeding birds on Beach Ridge N. of Micro Met, and area N. of ridge. Found five white-rump nest hatcheons, and flock of 18 white-rumps. Took chick and 5 adults from flock (Pitelka and Holmes will be proud!). Spent afternoon working west from there. Checked Pitelka's Plot - found 6 Buff- Breasts. Took two (ibis). Also took Baird Samo pipe chick several days old (Maclcan- 261). Weather cool and foggy.
