across Holmes' Marass. Collected a ♀
pectoral from a group of 5 - brood patches
refeathering - and 2 ♀ phalaropes from
a group of 5. Pectorals and phalaropes
were conspicuous in Marass in flexible
groups.
Met Tom on the ridge and drove
in long enough to grease up a replacement
set of tanglefoot traps. Took Jim
Gessman along when we (Tom and I)
went out to make the switch. I can
see that a carrying rack is needed to
prevent many trips between the wrase
and the trap locations. Caught adult
crane flies this time, as well as feathers
of an juvenile longspur. Looked around
local tundra with Gessman, then came
in for dinner.
In the evening Niko and Tom
went to the movie while I lay down
for a few minutes ...... and woke up at
11:00 P.M. Then did laundry and
wrote notes until late rack time.
