Dig around to find it to weigh the 4th egg.
After dinner most of the snow was gone

did III & VIII, then went in.

Barrow, Alaska
First out to the Drum Area to weigh
eggs of a 4-egg baird nest just found by Tom;
eggs are heavy, must be fresh. On the way,
checked the golden plover nest that was under
snow yesterday. Today the 8" was incubating!
Back to the lab to finish cleaning and counting
the tanglefoots. Out the gasoline road to do
transects at IIIA-B, IVA-B, and I&II. Back
through the lab to pick up tanglefoots, then
out to do transects at II & X, change tanglefoot
I, and check emergence traps at site I.
Nothing (no surprise) in emergence traps, and no
tipulids on the boards.
In the evening finished the transect job
as IV & VI, then changed tanglefoots and
checked emergence traps there. Also trapped
and weighed one baird as Tom's baird nest and
a nest by the DEW-line, found by Safriel,
completed this morning. Returned to each of
these about midnight. At Tom's nest - same
bird was incubating. At Safriel's nest -
