Founs and turned 19 of them. Returned
to camp for breakfast, then went back
to lab and removed stomachs of this
evening's shorebird collection, and finally
rolled into the rack.
28 July
Barrow, Alaska
First check of pit-fall traps
produced 3 carabids and 1 staphylinid-
there is hope. It is time to start thinking
about samples of Chironomus and
Tipulidae larvae, too.
Most of the afternoon was spent on
yesterday's stomachs plus two trapline
juveniles found in the icebox. The
stomachs reflect the Diptera crash.
After checking the Drum area
pit-falls went out to Beach Ridge to
see if I could find any there. Searched
through Bohnsack's forest of stakes
without finding any. Spent an hour
watching a pair of Baird's Snippets.
Twice got good distraction displays
around one spot, but found nothing
there and birds refused to go back
while I watched. Definitely two birds
together.
Walked into town, then drove our
(with truck mishap en route) to
