Noel 1964 Journal. Plowers. Found jaeger pair #2 shots by eskimos, saw 2 white rumps together- collected one. Returned for dinner and spent evening processing days bill, writing notes and letters, and listening to music. Barrow, Alaska Morning was spent in making live mount of remaining immature Ploemigan. Except for the Ostrich legs, not too bad. Again I'm looked again. After lunch, took jeep out to Pitelka's Plots. Beats leak out of a weasel. Very embarrassing - found Buff-Breast with 3 juvs, almost ready to fly. Cat crow! Also found flocking adult red-backs in dried up ponds, feeding in muck. Saw juvenile pectorals that couldn't have been more than 3 days out of egg, next to flying immature pectorals. Surprises at overlap, 'specially since white-rumps were so synchronous. Saw juvenile of Pom Targer #4 in Holmes' Marsh. Took 2 kip Ciser from passing flock. Observed feeding in Marsh and Plots, then returned to Stevens' Plots. Brought
