Not a shorebird for first 500 m. or so, then found a flock of cd. 10 Pectorals. Chased these and a few redbacks around the area as I introduced Karl to the procedure of recording feeding observations. He seemed to catch on well - I hope he keeps at it. Had to rush in [illegible] along shore of Honeybucker Lagoon, then through Drum Area, to meet Edna for lunch. After lunch and notes painted every other decimeter on a meter rule to use as scale for photographing habitat. Max and John Beck came by and occupied some time.

Caught sight of one. Returned and waited to see MCB to ask if Edna and I could fly to Fairbanks for shopping and to discuss future shorebird work with George West. Max said O.K. for an R4-D flight down
