Tie are now batching on St. George instead of eating at the Company 
House. Tie find it allows us to regulate our own time instead of letting 
the BCF do it for us. Unfortunately, there isn’t a bakery so we bake our 
own bread. Bob was the great pioneer and after three failures passed the 
kitchen to Mas. The first batch went something like this: 
n Gee Bob this bread dough sure tastes salty." 
"I know but I put 2 tbsp. in just like the recipe said." 
"I bet it was two tsp. instead." 
"See here it says 2 tbsp. of ....SUGAR." 
The weather during June was very good considering it is the Pribilof 
Islands. He had very little wind and HO rain. The tundra is very dry and 
some of the little lakes are getting low. There is still plenty of moisture 
in the ground and the spring flowers are blooming beautifully. 
' A rocket-net shot in late May, netted 113 Bar-tailed Godwits. Bob 
banded 100'of then and took sera from the rest. The birds had green 
streamers placed on their legs. This is an unusually large number of 
godwits for the'Pribilof Islands. The number on St. George was estimated 
to be 300-400 birds.
