MacLean 1968 Journal 7 June) wind, crusty snow to walk on ... but not too much bird activity. Watched a 67+9 pectoral active like a pair near the vath area, and many red-backs in the area. Returned after midnight, and talked with Dave Norton until 1:30. He is having trouble directing his efforts - don't know how it will work out. 3 June Barrow, Alaska We were awaken by A.R.L. people wanting us to move to hut 169 - our home for the remainder of the summer. That took all of the morning and part of the afternoon. By then, as a result of short sleep and an injected finger, I felt lousy. Remained that way for the rest of the day. It was sunny, but cool today. Again not too much melt, although it seemed to be warming up again by about midnight. 9 June Barrow, Alaska Slept in, and felt better for it. Went out with Pitelka to do habitat transects. Stopped by lagoon at junction of gasoline and main roads, where sandpipers were feeding. Left Pitelka and did III A-B, IV A-B, I+II, then picked him up on the way back to camp. Went out the other way and did I+II, III+VIII, IV+VI.
