P. DeBenedicts 1965 Limosa haemastica 28 June Barrow, Alaska - found one out in Micomet Marsh about 11. It was feeding in a shallowly flooded area with Pectoral Sandpipers and Red Phalaropes and / Dowitcher. It was 15' from flying and landed close to me and began calling a high pitch "ka wick ka wick hawik..." sometimes going into a "wirk wirk wirk..." It fed in heavy cuttings and inserted its bill deeply into the ground. In the afternoon when we went out it was with a group of Golden Plovers and was silent. Collected by Dr. P. Kelha. It was only slightly bulkier than a Golden Plover and was deep reddish chestnut vertically, brown above and grayish on the throat and face; its wings and tail were quite black and the white stood out sharply; the black wing lining was quite noticeable.
