town and spent the evening socializing,
then walked home in more warm, clear
weather. Old squaws were seen in
good numbers for the first time on the
way home, and sandpipers were in
good voice. Made it a pleasant walk.
June 13 Barrow, Alaska
In the morning drove out to
Coke-Ester and walked from there to
village ridge collecting feeding observations.
Baird's were very active - chasing
in pairs and groups of up to 6 and
displaying. Looked like a group recently
arrived and now dispersing. Pair of
Golden Plovers acted nest-ish just
West of Coke-Ester. Phalaropes
in good numbers - got some feeding
observation. In returning to the
weasel, stumbled upon a Curlew
sandpiper feeding in disturbed ground
on S. side of Voth road. Watched him
a while, then lost him, and came in.
After lunch went out to Village
Ridge with Pitelka to collect. Melt
off is going along rapidly, and remaining
snow is all slush. Makes travel
difficult. On ridge Semi-pals were
less conspicuous than previous trips
