Areneavis interper
27 June
Meade River Coal Mine, 157925'W, 70929'N, Block
Cetariae associata. The bird flushed at some distance
from the nest, and never gave a distraction
display. The nest was linear with Haemarica
and Cetaria (nivalis). The 3 incubated while
I watched in the early morning.
30 June
A pair is certainly nesting in the plots
W of the N Lake by the centre plot. Couldn't find
the nest and the birdy gave no clue at all.
They do feed on the Curricularia fleet a little,
and when the silver pair I found, are close to
a Black-belly planer - mutual warning?
They vigorously attack Colocas quells and
Paracorte jaques that go over the area.
See C. pusillus
4 July
The 3 still near the Black-belly nest by the centre plot,
scolding when I get in this area but not co-operative
in nest finding at all. They are feeding on
the peels a little, bred one brick spent some time out
in the wrinkle. One feeding near a Caribou carcass on South Ridge.
5 July
3 seen flying over a Carry area near the
dunes at the S-bows of Do Places in the evening.
8 July
One of the birds near the Black belly nest came out
to scold near the N end of the Curricularia plot
and followed me nearly to the centre plot across
the lake. The other bird were in the Eriophorus fleet
between the two lakes. Found an empty nest cup
of this species type in the curricularia along the
