March 1964 Journal shorebirds from second trapline run to date. Afternoon was spent around Beach Ridge looking at nothing — not because I didn’t want to, just because the birds were elsewhere. Wish to hell I could find this elsewhere where the birds have been living our lately! Evening was given over to frijidity- beer, women, good conversation, etc. 23 July Barrow, Alaska Continued Holmes letter till inspiration ran out. Warmest day of year, without doubt. Couldn’t spend a day like this inside, and besides, on a day like this the birds should be really active. Ha! Went out with Stevens to Beach Ridge, then walked through low polygons to Gasline Ridge. Not bad in polygons, but Ridge looked like Horseshine, the next day. Found Pamevine Jaeger jaws, cuppula sea-backs, few mosquitoes, and not much more. Temperature was recorded at 63° on Beach Ridge, and felt like 93°! Went back to Beach Ridge and went swimming in upper Measow lake
