30 June] and I checked the pit-fall traps
at the Beach Ridge Crossing on the
way in.
Went to Jimmy Stotts' wedding at
the Catholic Church in Barrow in the
evening.
July
Barrow Alaska
Up late, in time for a quick run
out to the Baird Nests. Spent the
afternoon doing stomachs - the two
plowes were stuffed with Prionocera
larvae: more than 100 in the 2 stomachs.
Buff-breasts contain about tipulips (live
eggs) and Chironomids. Pectorals are
still feeding on larvae. Afterwards,
to avoid going stir-crazy, walked our
into the drum area to check Baird
Nests. Also emptied Drum area pit-
fall traps - still not much - and
brought in excess due to use in
establishing another pit-fall area on
the beach ridge. Weather still cool,
windy, foggy.
Spent the evening in town making
wedding arrangements and watching
Steve Hopson's house burn.
