Maclean Journal [24 June] in the stakes. Drove along Central Marsh road and found a flock of ca. 40 pectorals. Collected 4. Also collected a golden plover from a flock of 12. Placed the S. Beach Ridge tanglefoots, then returned to Beach Ridge crossing and stopped to activate Bohnsack's pit-fall traps there. Found and turned 19 of the milk can type - the same as the drum area set. Finally returned for cocktail hour. Set up a nest check system for the banded birds nests. If people keep the record we can get good data without the need of systematic nest checking. If not something else will have to be done. In the evening went out in a cold, wind and banded 3 more bairds, making a total of 5 nests with 1 banded bird (out of a total of 8 nests). The nest worked without fail - 2 birds would not get on the nest, but once sitting, the bird is ours. 25 June Barrow, Alaska Spent the morning writing notes - there was a little catching up to do. Did a live mount of the golden Plover collected yesterday, then spent all evening working
