poor! Saw a total of 6 clutches of
red backs - all with jwvs. just flying.
Collected 2 adults and 2 young. Saw and
collected 1 semi-pal. Not a single
pectoral the whole trip! Phaldrops
were flocking very actively. Collected
4 from a flying flock.
Spent much of the day turning
drums for cardibios. Got a total of 77-
mostly from one set of cd. 15 drums.
Why the congregation under these
particular drums? I know not. They
looked just like any others. I now have
over '1/2 the needed 300 for 1gm. dry weights
(assuming Holmes' weights are correct).
By the time we got around to
heading for home snow was falling,
and for a while it remained on the
ground. Cleared up some soon thereafter,
however, and turned into a beautiful
evening.
Was very much impressed by the
floral volume and diversity below
Stevovik - far more than at Barrow.
We walked along the North end of
Sungowook - only longs purs, but many
different kinds of flowers.
Took Eowa home around 11:30-
