Maclean 1967 Journal 15 August Barrow, Alaska Slept in, then to the lab to discover that the flood in Fairbanks has reached the airport, so no flights out for a while. Cape's people have our back lab in a mess. Avoided that by counting tanglefoots, then went inland with Maclean, 2 Spaffords, & John Haugh. Pectorals, which were non-existent yesterday, were common today. (Not just here - Tom saw them in Central Marsh.) Dowitchers were also seen. Drove to Shkrovik to see about Holmes' claim of adult alpine inland-tupula feeding v. jun. alpino coastal-chiricano feeding separation. Did see alpine inland- 1 flock of 20 feeding on low polygon area, others at pond edges, but I still think Holmes overstated the separation. Lots of phalaropodine jaegers or owls. I was struck by the amount of green remaining in the tundra as we enter the last half of August. Walked into town after dinner to play basketball, then returned and drove out to shooting stadium with Garon Maclean. It proved to be too dark
