Stomachs from 8 young birds, including a Downy
pectoral, caught in evening run of the trapline.
Put new 300 samples in extractors, and home to
bed.

Barrow, Alaska
My day to catch up. Sorted more 300
samples, counted more tanglefoots, wrote
some notes. In the afternoon went out to the
winter traps. The weather finally broke today -
needed a jacket, but it was still pleasant.
Removed 3 alpina from a flock of ca. 18 near
acres on the way in. In the evening I wrote
some notes, then fell asleep and couldn't wake
up.

Barrow, Alaska
Spent the morning counting and
preparing tanglefoots. Dr. George Lindsey, Dr.
Robert Orr, and Dr. & Mrs. G.D. Hanna from
the Calif. Acad. of Sciences are here, so in the
afternoon I took Lindsey and Orr along
for the tanglefoot change. Again cooler, but not
cold - more wind now. Spent most of the time
looking for fungi for Orr. The 2-egg plover
nest by trapline II was abandoned; collected the
eggs. The can traps at Site II hit zero, and
the boards there are nearly so. Still some
tipulids in the cans and on the Site I boards.
Turned down a Brewer cocktail party in the
