MacLean 1969 Journal (10 June) 1 - thursday; FAP - Friday. After lunch went out to drum area to help Custer place some longspur traps. Saw little exposed ground there, but pusilla and bairdii were quite active - displaying and frequent chasing - over where was open. Drove our to Gasline Ridge and back to beach ridge. In both places not much exposed ground. Both had dispersed pairs of alpine and bairdii. the tundra still looks like the 1st of June, although the snow has become very soft and wet. Could still drive right across North and South Meadow lakes. In the evening put up a ♀ Wilson Warbler that I collected in the drum area this a.f.r., then took a shower and wrote field notes. In Britton's area and south- ward the melt is getting down to low-polygon troughs and other low- lying sites, and more lemming sign is being revealed. Right now it looks like a good pre-high. 11 June Barrow, Alaska Warm weather again. Went out with FAP, Hawes, and Bill Berry in
