MacLean 1969 Journal (19 June) 1400 went out with Safrisil to a nest in the Do village cemetery which he is giving in charge for a pusilla nest which he took yesterday. Still 3 eggs. Spent the rest of the afternoon working around South Salt Lagoon looking for nests. Found 2 bairdii and 2 pusilla - all with 4 eggs. In the evening went into the Drum area to look for nests. Found a 4-egg pusilla, and localized several others. Drove out to Safrisil's nest in the cemetery; now 4 eggs, so I took the eggs and both adults. 20 June Barrow, Alaska Went out with Dave House and Tom Schwan to Gasline Ridge. Tom found a 1-egg baird nest just west of the gasline. As they took in traplines I & II I wandered south to collect, took a pair of dowitchers and a 7 melanotas. Westerns acting up on Gasline Ridge again- at least 5 birds. Drove back to Britton's area so Tom could check nests. As he did I found a new 5-egg longspur nest across (East) from FAA. After lunch Dave and I went out to Traplines IIIA-B to check lemming nests. Not too many there - about the same
