CHILD'S 1951 Beird Sandpiper 2. July 6 Point Barrow, Alaska. Late this afternoon I was checking the traps in the area S of the power building when one of these started calling and giving the Mousy, ruffled feather routine. She was so intent on this that I followed her. She lead me through the storage area, across the road to between the administrative building of TI. At this point it (she?) stopped, unruffled its feathers changed to its regular call note instead of the whining whine and flew back Towards its area. It must have taken me 1000 ft. July 7 Found a nest (c=4) S of Power Building, undoubtedly the bird mentioned above. July 12 Eggs still in nest July 15 3 young hatched at 1400, one still wet, one out of nest. Banded all 3. (48-139 318-320) Got a nest traps & caught 4 within 2 minutes after setting. The adult came within 3 ft. of me while banding the young. At 1630 the egg had started to crack. A small white egg tooth was seen on the tips of the bill of the hatched birds. And the bird prot. I was in the area excited. Banded 4th young at 1900. It was still wet and the egg was still in the nest. Anus appeared ruptured. (Allantois?)
