Maclean 1968 Journal 5 June so I will have to continue supplementary sampling. Weather was funny - not cold, but a very thick ground fog. Ran out of landmark in driving across Central Marsh - funny feeling. Saw 2 sandhill cranes from a short distance in North Area. Saw and collected the first & pectoral of the season. After dinner went home and lay down... and couldn't get up. 6 June Barrow, Alaska Went out to Drum Area to check longspur traps. Banded 1 pt. Still 2 pairs of semi-pale there. Flock of ca. 35 pectorals. Marthi Soikkeli arrived last night. this morning I drove down to Skroawik with him and two native laborers to position the wanigan and check on the condition of Holmes' census plot. We ran the periphery of the plot; one or two Drums are missing, but the limits of the plot are clear. It is about 95% Snow covered, but there was much red- back activity on the open places. Also saw a few pectorals on the plot. Positioned the wanigan on a patch of open high ground about 1/2
