7. Cade 1958 Evolia bawdie 2 July (Barrow), Alaska Nest with 4 eggs in grassy area back of ARL animal house. Nest a depression on a slight mound, lined with dry grass and reed stems with some upright grasses + wishes high vining the nest but not forming a canopy over it. + July I examined same nest again. One of the 4 eggs was broken open at the small end - bird sitting on nest at the time. Contents of egg showed embryo well- advanced with feathers (down) visible along all major tracts. Female extremely "distracted" fluttering right up to my feet while I was at the nest. I pre- Hailed to chase her in order to see how far she would lead me. I kept about 20 feet behind and walked slowly so as not to press her. She displayed the usual Evolia posture - squatting, fluffing out rump feathers, fluttering wings and squeaking. She led me onto the gravel area, along side ARL and out to the main street past the post office and right on down in the direction of the airstrip. We covered a distance of about 200 yards, and she showed little diminution in her She flew off right when I was about 10ft away.
