P. de Benedict's 1965 Calidris pugnax 28 June Barrow, Alaska - Heard the "low-flight display" on several occasions near Miccnet Marsh in the afternoon and found at least one bird, which appeared to have dull red legs. In the high polygonal area between the Beach & Gasline Ridge heard a little display and saw a chase involving 3 three birds (no display). 29 June Barrow, Alaska - Two seen near the head of Gasline Ridge, no display. 30 June 4 seen near Miccnet Marsh (including 3 together giving a little low display flight and a (one bird), one seen chasing a 4 pectoral. 4 July a lone bird, its bill tucked under its wing, was seen in the VOTH area. 3(?) were seen together, V- gliding and at least one giving the "porint see" song on the level area between VOTH & Gasline Ridge, and a 4 was flushed from polygon in south of S. Meadows lake and flew over to a 7 which displayed to her. She may be nesting as she seemed quite disturbed by my presence. 11 July One seen along a small pool between Footprint and Thorough and according to McClees was giving the ground display to a Red Phalarope (which happened to look quite like a White Plovers in pattern). This bird was noticeably "baggy breasted", like a 7 pectoral, the 12 this has seemed evident to me. 13 July One seen flying west over the VOTH area toward Brownville. 14 July One with a group of Dunlin near Gasline Ridge.
