Childe, back from Peters.
5 August
Barrow, Alaska
More lousy weather - snow every
day this month. Spent morning and
early afternoon finishing up Mansay's
birds, then went our briefly. Nothing!
Weather must be keeping things down.
Redbacks are now the only birds seen
flocking. Now feeding along both wet
and dry margins of ponds. Pectorals
are alone - the only birds commonly seen
with young - feeding in open water, pond
margins, and wet tundra. Bairds are
rare at best, as are semi-pals. Can't
figure our what happens to the
white-rump ?? and immatures ... they
must be somewhere, but darend't if I
know! All in all, things is extremely
quiet right now.
In the evening - Childe's seminar
plus the Maler-Pitelka film. Interesting,
especially the penguin pictures. Afterward,
'story as projection machine was out,
He showed AEIIS and AET films.
Afterwards, welcomes Teraza back
in proper fashion.
6 August
Barrow, Alaska
