Maclean 1969 Journal 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, 14 July 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
