Eremetes pruilleus
20 June Barrow - one or two pairs seen near
Tge 10.- courtship behavior in sivoy.
This species appears to be way down
in numbers this year.
Two pairs seen in can area back of ARL
in late evening.
1-22 June - more individuals appear to be in
the Barrow area now than when first
arrived.
23 June - nest found on high center polygon
ground between beach ridge and air-
strip. In lichens lined depression in
center of high center ridge - grass cover.
Two eggs. Identification needs to
be verified - may be E. bairdii -
one bird in the area was bairdii but
the one on nest looks smaller and
appears to be this species.
26 June Coal Mine - Meade River - seen and
heard commonly around the ARL waggirg
and along the airstrip. Courtship flights
seem frequently. Some of these birds
may be western sandpipers. About
half a dozen. Keep close to the airstrip.
Courtship flights and gliders are seen
frequently - often three birds are in-
volves in these flights. Two birds shot
today (26th) do not appear to be in reproductive
condition.
