P. DeBeuditi 1965 Calidris albus 16 June Barrow Alaska: - Skinned a birds shot near where I saw the bird yesterday. It had a fully unmodified skull and had a very prominent sternal keel in spite of the fact the feather tracts were well supplied with fat and there was no body molt. 17 June at least 14 birds were present in the area between South Salt & Family lagoon, this figure obtained from a flock of 7 seen flying over + then flushing a 2nd group of 7 on the ground from the area over which they flew; they were in various states of transition from summer to winter plumage but did not seem to be in much molt. Heard only the "kit" note and a harsher "kut" from birds flying about and no displays. Feeding was similar to the bird seen June 15 and variable as to location. These are probably migratory birds and it will be surprised if they stay around. Largest group seen together was 7. 19 June Saw two birds together on two occasions in the area where we saw them June 17 but no evidence that they are territorial. They were active in feeding and took most prey with short probing motions: They were not as noisy as yesterday. 20 June Only 3 observations of single birds in this area today, but possibly all of different kinds. Only heard #1 call note "k.t."
