Cade 1957 Evolia melasutos 1 June One seen on the beach ridge west of the village in association with deerkins. 4 June About a dozen seen in the vicinity of Wainwright. 5 June Commonest sandpipers along the Innava and North Lena rivers - completely replacing the red-bellied within 5 miles of Innava. Males heard booping all over. 10 June - Half a dozen seen around Wainwright Village - some BOOING. 22 June - Anvilat, Alaska - one seen along weasel trail between T5 and T7. 29 June - Anvilat - on the teavore between T8 and T2 flushed a F with the weasel. She gave the "wounded-bird" display. I looked around on the ground in front of the weasel and found 4 recently hatched downies. They were still too weak to walk very much, but they were not in a nest - just huddled at the base of a dwarf willow. 5-16 July Point Log One of the Commonist shrewbirds about the site. When walking in the tundra, I was constantly attended by one or more of these birds - calling and/or giving distraction displays. Must have seen 60 or more individuals in all.
