MacLean 1968 Journal 2 June Barrow, Alaska Slept in, hoping to get over this cold quickly. In the afternoon I went out to harvest the three redback nests. Went with Tom to the two near Village Ridge - Cake-eater area. Collected 4 eggs and an incubating F from each. Saw a curlew scapiper F by Cake-eater on the way in. Back to the lbb to exchange Tom for Pitelka. Drove out to Micromet area (now extinct), dropped FAP, and continued to Wohlslag Slough to collect 4 more eggs and an incubating F. (See C. alpine notes - thindate). In the evening drove out with Tom across Wohlslag to collect material for Berlee extraction, took 8 cores from saturated flat on So. bank of Wohlslag, in an area but recently exposed. Went on to Elson bluffs and took 8 more from a flooded polygon trough system. Walked around this area - saw pectoals trying to set up territories, with some hostip. Found a 3-egg Phalacrope nest - far ahead of other areas. Returned to place this material in the funnel, then home to write notes and to bed. It was again quite warm. This has been the warmest spring of my experience, which makes the extensive snow cover surprising. Must have been a very heavy snow pack this
