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 -
