24 June
Barrow, Alaska
Spent the morning processing pectorals
and putting up the Perisoreus while talking with
Holmes. So was a miserable, foggy, rainy day.
After lunch Pete and I sorted 300 samples,
then loaded up for change at tanglefoot II
(he changed I and set out boards 1,2,3
last night). Went out to make the
change, but the weather was too rotten
to do much else so we returned to sort
the remaining 500 samples.
After dinner went out with Pete and
Eona on trapline check. Took 8 cores
from each of 2 places where pectorals
have been feeding - East of lines II & IX,
and North of Gasline Ridge - both areas
f-s-w. The pectorals have become less
common, but there are still some in the
area. (Later Tom reported a flock of 200-300!
in the Drum area.) Again saw white-rumped on
Gasline Ridge - a 8" chased away 2 pectorals.

Up early to start laundry and write
notes. Processed berlese yield - it looks like
pecterals know how to choose good feeding sites.
Today was transfer day again. I'm getting tired

habiter conditions will change less rapidly I'm
