Maclean 1968 Journal (15 May) Eagle Creek is, perhaps, 40% exposed. the valley is N-S here, with the camp in an old mining camp along the creek. they only occupy one cabin as cooking base and headquarters. this is right at timber-line, so most of the study area is above. (Camp is 2200 feet - see map) Spruce go up the valleys, and willows along the stream. things I forgot: cut Eagle Creek Road House, ca. 3 mi. down the Steese, saw an adult golden eagle overhead and a marten running around the camp. On the way up the Highway - ca. mile 86 - saw a moose. Ate dinner of Moose-burger, then sat around talking until an early rack-time, planning an early start tomorrow. 16 May Eagle Creek - Mile 105 Steese Highway, Alaska Up at 1:30.... they mean early around here. the idea is to work the early morning when the ptarmigan are calling and the snow is hard. It was - temp. around 25° when we started at 3:00 A.M. Spent the first two hours looking for ptarmigan with Weeder's crew on the area S.E. of camp, just across Eagle Creek. Saw lots of tree sparrows, red-polls, occasional white-crows in willows. Robins all over
