P. DeBenedictis 1965- Calycitis fuscaicollis 12 June Barrow, Alaska - two birds were found on the beach ridge about 2PM. They were feeding like Semipalmated Sandpipers (which I first thought they were) in a bare moss-covered area on a level area near the top of the ridge. When approached they flew up and flew towards the ARL; as they flew by could see the white rump clearly, and heard the flight note, a shopp high "reet" more like a Red Phalarope than the other piper; they were reddish Dorsally but grey on surface and breast, which was streaked, and had a noticeable wing stripe; couldn't see where they landed; They were much smaller looking than I had expected. 13 June. Found 3 birds along the W side of family logoon, a singleton and a pair. The single bird allowed close approach as it fed in a rather open, gravelly disturbed area; when in grass it seemed to follow the more open spots and did a lot of probing, inclu- ding with rapid delilin-like motions, although it moved around a lot. When I landed it gave a 2 parted high pitched call which reminded me of a Grosbeak Sparrow. The pair remained in this area but were not so approachable. The bird is only about the size of a Western Sandpiper but looks longer, head total in proportion to its length; it is quite rusty on the back.
