P. DeBenedich 1965 Pluvialis dominica 4 July Baylow, Alaska - nest near line I has apparently NEST1 been abandoned, as there is still only one egg and no birds in the area. 5 July There were several small groups along the east side of Central Marsh but didn't note any any place place else other than scattered birds. Those in Central Marsh were not very flighty or vocal, but did not allow close approach. A nest found by P. Tolke and Hamilton NEST2 near line 41B was attended by a lone very noisy bird; there were two plowes near this nest in the evening, a bright and a dull plumaged one; they were quietly across a small pond from the nest and flew off on my approach. The sitting birds called loudly, crouled off giving a crouch and going into a crouch, and one whin into what looked like a hunched posture Plowes alert post and alarm posture are rather similar - [illegible] differing mostly by the thickness of the neck. The bird on the nest attacked and chased a wavy of Pecked Sandpiper which happened to be feeding near by, when I was near the nest.
