24 July
Barrow, Alaska
Dr. Pitelka left for Berkeley on the
morning flight. After his departure Don,
Tom, and I went out to the NE corner
of Central Marsh. Don and I did a
habitar transect each while Tom looked
for longspurs. Good weather, but few birds -
a golden plover with two black-bellied
plovers in the marsh, alpine with large
juveniles in a drier part of the marsh -
no large flocks.
Afternoon was tanglefoot day, with
our usual weasel problems. Got out to
AACS but returned because of sound of
grinding bedrings. Next weasel made it
from the shop to our lab, then wouldn't
start. Finally made it in the thro -
too late to do much but rush out
and change the bearings. Spent the
evening at home cursing at APL.
25 July
Barrow, Alaska
Spent the entire day transecting
in good weather. In the morning Dan and
I went to Wohlslag Slough and area
South. Some difficulty caused by lack
of agreement between the map and the
course of the slough, but nothing serious.
