Macleod 1967 Journal [23 June] yes complete! Drove back via road which parallels the ridge, heading toward FAA installation. Saw 2 turnstones (rare birds this year) and a baird busily feeding along the way. Spent the evening in Barrow buying a licence (she prip for it!) and addressing more damn invitations. Finally finished those darn things. 24 June Barrow, Alaska Wrote notes, then went out into Drum area with FAP and Tom to complete the map of the area. In a short time found a new semi-pal and golden plover nest as well as a baird nest next to a previously staked semi-pal nest. In the afternoon Don and I glued up the Tanglefoot slots then headed out to place them. Took the owl girl (Mary Shields) out to the W. Beach Ridge Owl nest - she stood and 'ooo'ed' in awe, then proceeded to stay and watch the nest until 8:00 P.M. In setting the boards found that frost heaving had changed the ground contour so that boards fitting last year were not so now. Made the necessary alterations and carved numbers
