Machean 1966 23 July Barrow, Alaska to Meade River, Alaska Got up feeling just a little foolish! Cleaned up around lab, put away insects, etc., then took camera out to Steller's Eider nest. As feared, she had hatched out and was not to be seen. Spent the rest of the morning turning over barrels and boards in the drum area in search of carabios. I must lack the technique, because I turned a lot of drums for 10 loose carabios. Also found some Staphylinias and 2 Tipula larvae. Returned for lunch, then spoke to Dr. Brewer and was given notice for an afternoon flight to the Meade. This left the tanglefoots for Paul - but I'm supposed to be back for the next change. Threw my gear together and headed for the airport. Flew down with Guy Shepard in 46 Z. Barrow was clear and foggy, and this held until just North of the Meade. There it was broken sky. Stowed my gear and had a cup of coffee with Art McKee and Roger Burnard. They are helping the fort while Phil Johnson is away at meetings in
