Childs 1958 Limosa lapponica 4 June Pitnugea River, Cape Sabine, Alaska Pete shot one pass the ridge Behind Owl Ridge. It had brood patches, so not have been nesting in that area. 5 June Pete saw 3 on Cantun Mt. One flew over me on bluff 2215 7 June One flew over high calling. 11 June Fairly regular calling over study area last few days. 18 June One near plot 2-81 27 June Active in scolding caribou near 2nd Ridge 3 July Pitnugea River, 5 miles SE Cape Sabine, Alaska again scolded me after the plane left. 5 July They have not been seen or heard since 6 July Probably 5 pairs on the north fork. Six scolded me at one time. A pair of curlews also present. 7 July The gey gave us the business again today. I now doubt they are nesting but as a moving flock. 18 July Pitnugea River, 7 mi SE Cape Sabine, Alaska Pete shot 3 of 9 one. Several others seen. No brood patches or other evidence of nesting 20 July Young of year seen in flock downstream
