Made a quick trip into the ARRL office, then went into Barrow and remained there until we moved our gear out to camp at 8:00 P.M. 1 June Barrow, Alaska Spent most of the day talking with Brewer and Schineller and getting the lab in order. Met Dave Norton from the U.S.A. - here to work on bioenergetics of incubation and chick growth in jaegers. In the afternoon drove out to the Beach Ridge with Dave and Eona for a first look at the tundra. The weather was fairly warm. Melt about normal or slightly ahead - about a 250 m. stretch of the ridge was exposed S.W. of the crossing. Saw many red-backs, 2 pectorals, 2 semi-pale, 1 turnstone, lots of longspurs and buntings. The tundra that is exposed shows little sign of lemming activity and is generally in good shape - many seed heads, etc.. Collected 3 alpina and 1 melanotos, then drove over to area of Pitelko's census plot. Conditions there were about the same - saw only redbacks and longspurs; not as much exposed tundra. Saw 1 short-eared owl here, as well as at previous site. A few jaegers flying by [illegible]
