25 June] on specimen material. After dinner walked
our past banded baird nests and
checked traplines IX and X. Westler was
again cold and foggy - not much activity.
26 June
Barrow, Alaska
Made a nest check before going to
bed, and another first thing in the
morning. Long incubation stands seem to
be emerging, but not clearly 12 hours or
some other simple pattern. Went our
again to check traplines IX + X. Watched
2 bairds feeding between the lines, then
walked in along family Lagoon. Found a
4-egg semi-pal nest about at the latitude
of BACS, and another in the Drum area
close to camp.
Spoke w/ Brewer re. the problems
of the owl girl. We decided to take a
local survey flight to look for nests,
then fly to Warnwrights and back to
look for concentrations of owls. Took
off just after lunch. Looked for the
Wohlslag Slough nest without success,
then carefully searched around the gas
well. Lots of owls, but no nests.
Looked long enough to convince ourselves.
About this time the owl girl asked where
they keep the paper bags on the airplane.
