[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
