These were all in an area south of Delwally Bay and west of the Kiffipuk River. Maher saw several others from his side of the plane. 5 June Coal Mine - Meade River - Two cocks were flushed in close proximity in a willow area along the stream that flows past the culloge. This was 4100 yds kept stream from end of airstrip. 27 June - one heard calling west of camp at 2330. 28 June - one flushed out of a patch of dwarf willow near T2. Adult ? 30 June - One seen between T1 & 2 in the late evening - same area where it has been seen before. 1 July I shot and winged the ? which has been seen regularly in the vicinity of the fork in the nearby stream, but unfortunately he came to ground on the opposite side of the creek and by the time I had gotten over to the area he had hidden in the dense dwarf willow brush and could not be found. 9 July Uniat, Alaska - I flushed a male on the ridge between Lower & Second Towers in dwarf shrub - near T5.
