MacLean 1967 Journal. [11 June] semi-pals. Spent the day in town - saw Rev. Samuel Simmons - returned late. 12 June Barrow, Alaska Day started foggy, but sun broke through and by noon it was warm and sunny. Walked out into the drum area - semi pals were more abundant and active than previous visit..... and baird's are finally here! A newly arrived group of 8 or more were spread about drum area - chasing and displaying. Found a #7 King Eider in good plunge - injured or exhausted and not flying. Returned for camera and got an AEI Exacta to use for black and white. Shot the last of the black and white in my camera on the drum area pit-fall area and the king Eider, then shot nearly a roll of Kodachrome on the bird. After lunch went out with Karl and Pitelka to the Voth Area. Potemkin near Cake-eater to collect while Karl and I wandered toward Village Ridge to see if semi-pals and bairds have moved in there. They haven't. Watched a pair of pectoralis in floccoso low polygon area that has just opened up East of the ridge.
