P.DeBenedictis 1965 Pluvialis dominica 6 July Barrow, Alaska - found a four-egg nest along NEST 3 Eloon lagoon. As with the nest seen yesterday, the attending bird arose from the nest, went off about a foot and began calling an excited "kulee" note, and walked slowly, directly away from the nest. When I got near the nest I once went in to the tail down crouch posture. In spite of all the yelling it did, no 2nd bird appeared. Another pair was near the CREEK shock. There were two small groups totaling about 20 birds along the E side Central Marsh and a large group, mixed with Dowitchers at the SW end of the Marsh; they behaved as yesterday, but frequently bursts of "wee kit kit wee" type song were heard by birdson. On the ground, often as they entered a group. The posture I called "alarm" is also frequently assumed by birds looking for food and may indicate only a state of "tension" or anxiety; the two might better be called "alert" - "thick necked" and "alarm" - thin necked. One group along the W side of the marsh got up and circled the Marsh several times, splitting into 2 groups until a fork of Oldsquaw flew across the marsh; the plovers joined the quickest disappeared to its east, although I suspect they landed in Holmes' Mear rather than emigrated. 7 July There were about 6 birds loosely spread out over Micronet Marsh feeding in wet areas; one gave the quid with the "kit" syllable; and about 10 in the polyurized area resting silently, E of Micronet Marsh in DAH.
