That is the experience being told by Urban C. (Pete) Nelson, Fish and Wildlife Research Biologist, who recently returned from, a month’s journey down the Colville er in the north. We caught and banded ducks and geese from Umiat to where the Colville River spreads into a delta on the Arctic Ocean,” he re- called “How did we catch them? Well, you see the birds up there are moulting from the firsy of July for about 20 days. The non-creed- ing birds moult earliest—they're probably the ones who are unmateq or too young or old to breed. The breeding males are next. Finally the breeding females moult, apparently as soon as the young come off the nests. And we caught the birds when their feathers were gone and they couldn’t fly.” Nelson and his two helpers—Dane Walsh and Tom Spining of Fair- banks—first flew reconnaissance | over the delta of the Colville and up the river. Then they left Umiat by boat. Seven Miles Per Hour When the Colville is flowing, it undermines the banks; and tons |ot clay and frozen muskeg con- tmually fall into the river. The stream flows at about seven miles pcr hour, and Nelson descriced it “treacherous.” A day which Nelson said stands lout especially .in his mind, and serves to illustrate what the chases were like, was July 14. “We were floatiry; down the river,” he said. “The lanq around | was flat like a prairie. There were ponds scattered over the muskeg.| Suddenly, ahead of us down the river, we sighted 15 or 20 geese on a sand bar.” | As usual, the birds dispersed—' scattered in all directions—as soon ! as Nelson and his helpers had brought the boat onto the bar and started chasing. Three Wild Chases Each of the men went after one of the geese. The bird Nelson was binoculars and overgrown butterfly net as he chased the goose for three miles over the sand. Yet the bird got away. And when reported the same thing had hap- pened to them. * As they shoved the beat off the sandbar, they sighted the only, It was Iy- ing low and doing its best to hide where there was no place to hide. “That’s the way it went from Umiat to the delta,” Nelson said.! of the original 15 or 20. the boat until they went ashore.| Then we chased them on foot.| Ducks stayed in the ponds on the | ed them alone. « “I had a wool sleeping bag, so |I was too cold to sleep more than a couple of hours at a time.
