Marshall, 1945 Palam Numenius resting on sand spits at north end of island. Generally 3 or 4 per flock of 50-100 Turnstones, plovers & sandpipers. Sometimes fly before the others do, then they keep to themselves & close together in flight to next patch of sand. Koror & Pelelin Single birds met daily on roads or trails thru open country. When they takeoff (by themselves or by being flushed) they make loud calls. One day an emaciated weak bird was catched on a road. At Pelelin, during a rainstorm one came outside the window of my lab and plucked grasshoppers out of a patch of grass next to the sidewalk. Found as commonly inland as Pluvialis, & both it & Actitis. Call: rapid succession of whistled cries. Actitis hypoleucus Pelelin, Koror Solitary on flat areas - on roads of white sandy soil, esp. near puddles
