first 500 m. or so, then found a flock of

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

A pairs with little interaction. Still no
Bairds'. More lemming sign exposed
by melt here. Caught sight of one.
Returned and waited to see MCB
