Maclean 1967 Journal 4 June Couldn't get any gear, it being Sunday. Last night and this morning were >0°, and good snow run-off is evident. Walked into Barrow and had to cross several streams. From Barrow went back to Browerville and walked along bluff over village lagoon. Longspurs were scattered along and displaying. Buntings far along. No shorebirds were seen. 5 June Barrow, Alaska Spent a productive morning gathering clothing, equipment, wear, etc. They are painting our lab so I haven't been able to unpack yet. After lunch drove out to Beach Ridge near Micro Meters and walked around to Pitelka's Plot, then back. Red-backs were common - a number of pairs + several newly-arrived groups. Saw 2 pairs and heard a semi-pal display. Only 1 alpina gave full display, i.e. - it is still early. Ridge is ca. 80% snow covered. Saw a ♀ snowy owl on P's plot - Tanager cruising the area. Drove to Gasline Ridge for a quick look there - found 1 pt. owls, several pairs of red-backs, and scattered longspurs- strikingly quiet.
