[22 June] this our to the Drum
area in the evening
to give it a try. Tom
and Don tried to
catch longspurs while
FAP and I went off to
photograph buffle. Shot 1 roll of
Plus-X and a roll of high-speed
ectochrome. Got - I think - 9000 shots
of using flashing and H [illegible] Display,
then Don and I returned to the lob;
Tom and I trapped and banded 4
longspurs and a Baird's sandpiper from
the nests.
23 June
Barrow, Alaska
took off on foot through the
Drum area and found a 4-egg baird
nest. Walked up along the edge of
Family Lagoon to Family Creek, then
walked the area S and East of Family
Lagoon and Creek. Very quiet. Most
amazing are red-backs - they are widely
cattered and covering immense areas.
Watched a pair of plovers, but failed
to find the nest. 87 melanotos are
still scattered about but also in flocks.
♀ are just not seen and we have
not yet scored up a nest. Phalaropes -
