Pluvialis dominica
19-20 June Barrow - pretty common all over
the tundra in pairs. Seems somewhat more common than last year.
Perhaps 15-20 pairs in the areas
we are now working - T1-2, 6-4, 9-10.
1-22 June - remaining common and spaced out over
the tundra - or marsh ground as well
as on the ridges and polygonal ground.
5 June - Coal Mine - Meade River - common
all grew the tundra in this vicinity.
Perhaps a dozen pairs seen within
halfmile radius of the colliery
One nest with 4 eggs was found
near T7. It was situated in a depression
on an upraised moss mound with
little vegetative cover - scattering of
edges and everlast lichens. Mound
surrounded by edge-goes marsh and
some tundra-heath tundra.
6 June - seen again rather common all
along the way on my walk S of the
colliery today.
8 June - Several seen on high ground south
below the colliery - often clear or in
vicinity of S. Eguatavola.
6 July Barrow - none seen in a three
hour drive around areas where
previously common.
