Maclean 1967 Journal 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.
