Maclean 1967 Journal 20 July (finally) get moving on habitat transect work. Placed a 1 km grid over a map of our study area - down to lower Gasline Ridge and Okpik Slough and West to Village Ridge and Village Lagoon. this gives about 48 complete 1 km lengths that can be used for transects. Decided to try procedure of randomly selecting a kilometer from the grid and walk along it evaluating the habitat (using the feeding observation scheme) at 5 m. intervals, giving 200 points per km. Mims'd a data sheet for this and in the afternoon went out with FAP and Dan to try it out on a km. starting at North Mesnow Lake and heading West toward mouth of Family Creek. After first 100 points (1/2 km) decided to reduce the number of sample points to 100 / km (One each 10 m.). Using this system we did the last 1/2 km in just < 1/2 hour. In general we all agreed well in categorizing the sites - encouraging for feeding observations. Dan and I will begin tomorrow morning and try to complete at least 4 km/day for the next 6 days. We will have to
