1966
in warm, overcast weather. Didn't see
much on the way in. Walked down the
Browerville ridge towards Voth Area with
Edna. Crest of ridge is mostly clear
except for deep snow filled gullies
running toward village lagoon. Very
good Semi-pal activity here. Birds
appeared mostly settled and paired,
with some territorial chasing going on.
Several pairs of Turnstones - one good
territorial scrap out over lagoon. Have
to walk this again and more actively
collect data.
this is, if nothing else, a good
waterfowl year. Except for Steller's
Eiders - everything is around in numbers.
Several flights of Pintails today, and
Common Eiders as well as Kings. Snow
Geese, white-fronts, and brants all
seen today.
11 June
Barrow, Alaska
Walked out through Drum
Area to Beach Ridge. Drum Area is
exceptionally slow in coming out this
year - only scattered polygon tops
are exposed. Good semi-pal activity,
but of an early sort - much dispute
over boundaries, display.
