P. DeBenedictis 1965 Calidris maritima 25 June Barrow, Alaska - location similar to the above bird. It feed near a pair of Semipols and was not bothered by them. No vocalizations other than the "kreet" fight note heard. 30 June A small flock is present in Central Marsh, most in fairly dull plumage although clearly breeding plumage. They are social but not tightly flocced; heard only the "kreet" fight note, but saw one go after another on the ground in a hindered posture, the 2nd bird moving off. [illegible] This posture resembled that of the distraction display except that the head was directed forward and the bird moved towards a 2nd bird in an aggressive manner. 2 July There are still about 8-12 birds out in Central Marsh including some in pretty miserable plumage. Saw two out on a path of gack towards the center of the marsh in addition to those seen along the edge, where they were more conspicuous than semipols. Saw a flight song, given with appalling motion, the bird rising up then falling down (flapping the entire time and caching a low volume, high pitch "zeeeee zeeeeeh", the whole thing happening so fast that I wasn't able to co-ordinate the two. Saw one flying over, P. Kelka's plot feed more anywhere else. The sound is very white-sempol but the flight is rather more like a pectoral.
