Maclean 1969 Journal (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.
