Ploviialis dominica -5 9 June Mecelle River Cool Mine, 15°02'5"W, 78°02'9"N. Alaska None near camp in the AM and only 1-2 f's along the creek. A T on the village plot, and a close followed by a flight song seen there. Saw them out in a shallow Carr pond for the first time today, and judging from Barrow last year, this will become more common. Now the best areas are 8-11/12 moist slopes going into the lake basins and streams. A couple of pairs (much display) in the lake basin W of the census plot and one went by loosely associated with Red Phalaropes. 10 June Mostly near the village. A T by south creek. Not at all noisy. 18 June A T heard near south creek about noon. Nine seen. Very obscure. 12 June A T by the 1st lake up U Waye creek. At least 2 and possibly 3 T's near the census plot and a little song flight observed. Fairly quiet. They are out in the damp moany flat where the ground is hummocky, and not on the ridges any more. 16 June A couple of pairs along the North part of L. Agassiz and 25' and at on the census plot. A little song 8.5/1. 17 June One pair at the south part lake Iturwale, more conspicuous by lake Agassiz, where two-3 pairs present. 19 June Female nest with 4 eggs on the census plot As expected it was out in the open, dark rufous-colored
