Maclean 1968 Journal (12 July) system 40 m. SW of the previous. Checked the insect traps on the way in. Placed new samples in the funnels and spent the evening hours - sorting the Slo ones. One batch of 8 did poorly in the extractors. Lots of tiny (5-8 mm) Pediqa from the Elcor bluff through system samples - an area that opened quite early. That makes it appear that these are from this year's eggs. Anyway I twist it, it is hard to make these samples agree with the June samples from the same spots. 13 July Barrow, Alaska Transector day. It was pleasant early, but turned cold and foggy as I was doing the first line. Did I & II first; saw a female pectoral that surely had young or a nest nearby. Also did III A-B before lunch. Pete came along in the afternoon to check the insect traps while I did VIII + VII, IV & VI, then IX & X. That left only IIIA-B for the evening. It was pleasant once again by that time. The lines have dried dramatically since the last check. Many points rated 'dry' today. The III-B plover is still incubating; the turnstone nest was empty, presumed hatched. Saw a female pectoral with 4 jays perhaps a week old by AACS.
