16 July
Barrow, Alaska
Fell behind on tanglefoots and had
to count nearly the full set. Tossed all
morning. After lunch we went out to
change them and check the emergence
traps - the best catch to date on both.
In the evening I began counting these
boards to avoid falling behind again. Pitelka
was due to leave this evening, but jog kept
the plane away.
17 July
Barrow, Alaska
Put up a Black guillemot brought
in by Harry Brower, then counted tanglefoots
for the rest of the morning. After lunch - seed
samples and emergence traps. Pitelka
managed to leave this evening. Celebrated
by going to a movie in town.
18 July
Barrow, Alaska
More cold weather, with occasional
snow flurries. Lab work in the morning,
as the snow alternated with rain. In the
afternoon the two vans departed. Dave
and I drove out to the fertilizer plot to
pick up the sticky boards there. Those from
the plot were covered with Pedicia; those
from the control plot have few Pedicia but
more Prioraceae. Suggestive, but it could
be due to differences in timing of emergence.
