Maclean 1969 Journal (30 June) dorm room next to Pitelka to provide a sound 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.
