barrier for him. will be with Tom Cooter.
1 July
Barrow, Alaska
Warm weather and a Southwest
wind which brought occasional rain
showers. Went into Barrow for
crane fly pairs: red, blue, purple, white.
Completed counting and re-greased tanglefoot
Immediately after lunch Dave and I went out
with another load of emergence traps and
set up all 14 traps (4 functioning as
enclosures) at site I. Changed tanglefoots
there and at site II, then gave up and
came in out of the rain.
In the evening the weather improved.
Counted some tanglefoots, then walked into
town for the evening.
This afternoon- a large flock of ca. 60
melanotos and 40 P. rss phalaropes. Collected
3 peotrales - they have given up all thoughts
of sex; cervical fur is way down and
molt has begun.
2 July
Barrow Alaska
Our early with Dave to set
site II emergence traps. More west
wind and Bering Sea fog and mist.
Birds were very quiet and scarce. All
emergence traps are now functional.
