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
