1966
birds were feeding along the gravel of
the river, a smaller number along the
ocean, spinning. Shot 3 birds - all
full of marine organisms - mostly a small
shrimp-like beast. After disturbance
all went to ocean and stayed there.
Continued to Uoth Area - found
fog there and negligible bird activity.
Spoke with Max Brewer today,
and found myself appointed speaker
for Friday night's seminar. Spent
the evening re-reading Holmes' and
Pitelka's papers and organizing thoughts
for that.
9 August
Barrow, Alaska
Checked stomachs on three
immature birds (pectoralis) collected
6 August, then read until lunch. After-
checked Pitfalls - 1 Carebia, 1 Staphylinus -
then went out to change tanglefoots.
Found them way, way down - nearly
bare. Bird activity was similarly
poor - a flock of 7 golden plovers,
3 pectoralis by Tanglefoot I, and
occasional Red-backs. Weather was
again wet and cold, this may
relate both to insects and birds.
