Pair formation [underlined]:- In one burrow entrance
I caught a [male symbol] at 7:10 and a [female symbol] at 9:00
In another I caught a [male symbol] at 7:25 +
a [female symbol] at 10:30. These were both
occupied nest burrows with much
evidence of the carrying in of
nest material. Feed here seemed
to be Equisetum [underlined] by preference
9 mi [miles] N. [north] Aklavik:- June 17/47 [1947]
Food in #1 lake is exclusively the roots
+ stem bases of the aquatic Equisetum [underlined]
(variegatum? [underlined])
Behavior [underlined]
Today there was a strong N. [north] wind
+ the rats were easily alarmed. Also
they had forsaken the windy side
of the lake + were almost all of
them feeding on the sheltered
side. From observations made thus
far the prevailing wind has a great
deal to do with the rat territories
The wind-beaten, ice caved shores
are almost devoid of rats. These
have had populations but they must
have been overflow. Certainly just
now the populations are on the
sheltered sides = north sides from
which the ice first left + which
has had least wind disturbance.
