(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
