13 July
Barrow, Alaska
Took the boat up to camp to pick
up camera and shotgun, then up to
Nuvuk. The day was warm and beautiful.
So many olosquaws and quite a few
guillemots on the water. The northern-
most passerine bird in Alaska - at
least for a while - was.... a tree sparrow!
Many nesting Bairdii and some
pustilla and turnstones there, and
many snow-buntings. From the
boat we saw 1 spotted seal, several
ringed seals, and 4 bearded seals-
and us without a rifle. On the way
back saw 2 kittiwakes flying north.
The warm weather suddenly turned
to Bering Sea weather, and we drove
home in a hail storm,

Barrow, Alaska
Rain all day long. In the
morning Dave and I drove out
to the fertilizer plot with Arnold
Schultz. We placed 3 sticky-
boards on the plot and 3 on the
adjacent control plot. It is very
impressive out there - the plot shows,
extensive winter-cutting and many nests. The
adjacent controls show almost no cutting
