played with the strips a while. Counting
Collembolans is going to be a real
problem. Went out to Duck Camp
to get Edna, then spent the evening
as a party in the ARC rec room.
Good, lively party. Took her home too
late.
3 July
Barrow, Alaska
Slept late — late indeed. Tried
all kinds of approaches to the matter
of counting and sub-sampling tanglefoot
strips. Finally decided to estimate
Collembolans and count everything else,
and did so for these strips. I would
rather use time on counting flying insects
on another set of strips than playing with
darn Collembolans.
Next finished up all stomachs lying
around the place and washed used
masonite strips. This turned out to be
the biggest problem of the whole deal.
Ate an early Sunday dinner, then
went out to the Funora with Niko. Left
him on Pitzella's Plot, then went on
to South End of plot and started
walking. Carried the shotgun, but
nothing close would pass. Weather
cool, windy, and foggy.
