Maclean 1967 Journal 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
