2 July
Barrow, Alaska
Spent much of the day in town
for church and ballgames. Returned
in the evening and counted tanglefoot
slats while doing my laundry.
3 July
Barrow, Alaska
Up for breakfast! Went into
drum area and discovered that
shorebird nests are hatching. Baird
nest #1 was empty, and both adults
fussing nearby. Nest #12 is empty, but
probably due to predation. Returned to
lab and picked up bands and Custer
and went back out. Banded 3 young
from baird nest #1, 3 still in nest.
alpine nest nearby, 1 pusillus within
a few feet of baird nest #5. then
went over and banded 3 of Tam's
dongspurs. After that banded 1 bird (ao)
incubating nest (baird) #11, then in for
lunch.
Found that our new wind-net
system is now complete - picked it
up. As usual, AEL did 10 x what was
needed - a fancy brass and tooled
aluminum thing. As a result, we
probably won't be able to get a
second system. this one can be changed
