MacLean 1966 along the ridge without stepping on snow. Collected a few observations until my wet feet got cold, then walked to road and rode in on returning wedge. 14 June Barrow, Alaska Spent the morning on notes and stomachs. Pitelka brought in 5 Semi-pals and a turnstone to go with my birds. After lunch drove to Pitelka's Plot, then walked around Holmes' Marass to Elean Lagoon with Niko. The ridge is now good walking; the marass is a quagmire of water and slush. Collected a few observations on and around the plot, but hurried to spend most of the afternoon by Elean Lagoon. Red-backs and phalampes were frequent there, and we collected a good number of observations. Failed to turn up the hoped-for pectorals. Turnstones were active near the nest Niko had found earlier. As he checked this I found another w/ 4 eggs ca. 150 m. S.E., and then another w/ 4 eggs <50 m. S.E. — 3 nests within 150 m! It was getting late, so we waded straight across the Marass and managed the trip without going in above our boots.
