Macdon 1964 Journal 15 7 July Spent evening processing and putting up part of day's kill. Today I fertilize the tundra. Spent the day on Schultz's fertilizer plot assisting Steve Holland. 8 July Barrow, Alaska Finished off Monday's white-rumps, then made few quick observations before lunch. Spent afternoon leaving Chilo's seminar to S.F. State students, and assisting in entertainment of same. Listened to Bohnzack's Seminar on milk progress in evening, then checked white-rump nests. Burst of hatching has struck - amazing synchrony. Observed feeing, then returned with Steve. 9 July Barrow, Alaska Woke up and found myself fighting Chilo's colo. Spent morning writing notes and putting up loan. After lunch, finished loan, and so to the field. Another white- rump nest hatching. Colo and foggy - very little feeding activity. No broods of clicks seen, although several birds have alarm displays. A large group of parasitic jaegers has been passing through the area - could effect shorebirds
