In the afternoon went our into Holmes' Morass to look around, take feeding observations, etc. Saw a few golden plovers and a red-back with a flying immature; not much else. Went down to Central Marsh to take sod samples. a flock of pectorals and a few immature semi-pale there. In the evening drove out to Shooting Station. Flock of 12 immature pucillus along the lagoon - ponos behind tents. Encouraging thought - there are not too disturbed, and are much like the ponds in the Drum Area that are so heavily utilized in August. Picked up one of our banded Semi-pale - # 75-26632 - that a boy shot from one of the ponos at Birkirk, Returned to write notes, and then to bed. 30 July Barrow, Alaska Sunday morning in the rack, then to the lab to clean tanglefoots that Don just counted. Our for the change - found a burst of bird activity - pectorals, red-backs, plovers, and the Dorwither
