MacLean 1966 27 July Barrow, Alaska Spent most of the morning sleeping off the rest of my Mepse River exhaustion - I was more tired than I had realized. Cleaned up the lab - which was left a mess (Paul must have gone to Cape Thompson in a hurry), after lunch counted and cleaned yesterday's Tanglefoot. The catch is still declining. Next went into the Drum area to look for Cardinals. The cardinals we put out produced a few, but it looks like a long haul to get the requisite gram dry weight. In the evening went out for some collecting and just plain bird watching. Saw clutch of Semipals and clutch of Golden Plovers in low polygons SW of Micro.Mes. Probably should have collected a bird from each, but I didn't. Parked by gasoline ridge and walked South. Activity low - collected 2 alpina, 2 red phalaropes, and a baird. Saw no juveniles, which I particularly wanted for stomachs. Returned around midnight and went to Drum area to re-activate Kurt Bohnsack's old milk can pit-fall traps.
