Shorebirds — 1 pair of turnstones, 1 pr.
of golden Plovers, and about 20
red-backs. It appeared that a new group
had moved in or about 3 pairs of
settled birds. Collected 4 and watched
awhile, then came in and showered.
After dinner went to town, then
came back and worked on specimens —
today's stomachs, etc..
10 June
Barrow, Alaska
Looked at stomachs of yesterday's
♀ Longspurs — more overlap, even
Tipula larvae! Should have looked
at these birds before. Afterwards
went out to Voth Area to check
progress. Weather greatly improved —
temp. > 40°, and raining quite
heavily for June. this should melt
some snow.
Saw a ♂ pectoral with well
developed throat sac across from
FAA — a welcome sight. Hope more are
coming soon. Redbacks in Voth area
are still not sorted out;
In the afternoon went ♂ with
Pitelka and Nika first to N. end of P's
Pilor. That was the most discouraging
moment of the summer thus far.
