(5 July) Returned briefly, then went out to
SE Voth Area to take 500 samples.
In the evening placed three 5 in the
extractors and began sorting the others.
It appears that our paint may be
toxic to crane fly; 4 of the 5 marked with
a spot in the evening were dead the next
morning. I need a large sample to experiment
with, so Dave and I opened the site II
beer-can traps.
6 July
Barrow, Alaska
the pleasant weather returned.
Dave and I went out to check and finish
sealing the emergence traps - caught a
Pedicia in trap by traplines IX & X.
Spent most of the day checking lemming
nests between the two insect sites.
Found quite a bit of Dicrostonyx activity -
including 6 prepared nests - on the
Beach Ridge. In total, we looked at
114 nests today - quite low predation
level in Central Marsh and north of
Beach Ridge, higher on the ridge.
In the evening I counted the site I
sticky boards, then went into town to
write field notes.
Dave collected the incubating 37
Northern Phalarope from Central Marsh.
